Abstract

Education in a country is a vital factor to provide job opportunities to people and to make the country economic development. It is significant to develop Sri Lanka higher education regionally and internationally to compete with other countries.To get the high performance in the organization, it is important to identify the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions towards work engagement. Most of the researchers have identified the physical and psychological factors. But all these years many organizations have neglected the importance of spirituality to the work engagement. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the impact of individual spirituality on work engagement of the academic staff of Private institutes which offer Foreign degrees in affiliation with Foreign Universities (PIOFDAFU). The individual spirituality, which was measured by three dimensions; namely, larger context, awareness of life and compassion was the independent variable of the study, while, work engagement, which was measured through three dimensions, which are; vigor, dedication and absorption was the dependent variable of the current study. A structured questionnaire was distributed to collect the views from 200 academic employees in PIOFDAFUs in Sri Lanka. Findings revealed that, there is a significant positive impact of individual spirituality on work engagement of the academic employees of PIOFDAFUs in Sri Lanka.
