Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine which of the following variables were significant predictors of work engagement among music education faculty: (a) supervisor support, (b) university support, (c) job-related stress, (d) salary satisfaction, (e) self-efficacy, (f) workplace relationships, and (g) workload satisfaction. Music education faculty (N = 359) representing a nationwide sample participated in the study. A simultaneous multiple regression analysis revealed the independent variables combined to account for 28.6% (p < .001) of the variance in work engagement. Furthermore, self-efficacy ( = .25, p < .001), supervisor support ( = .18, p < .001), university support ( = .18, p < .005), and workload satisfaction ( = .13, p < .016) were statistically significant predictors of work engagement.Advisors/Committee Members: Ciorba, Charles (advisor), Day, Eric (committee member), Barrett, Roland (committee member), Conlon, Paula (committee member), Wakefield, William (committee member), Baumgartner, Christopher (committee member).
