Job demands and resources of academic employees within higher education institutions

Abstract

Excessive job demands and inadequate employment resources can harm employees’ well-being. Job demands and resources, therefore, became crucial to understanding the relationships between employees and their organisations. These variables are identified predictors of work engagement, commitment, performance, process change, and other desirable work outcomes. A strong need exists to understand academics’ job demands and resources because the higher education sector experienced an array of changes over the past decade. This may aid them in considering challenging demands while regarding ways to manage their resources more efficiently within their institutions.
