The study attempted to find out the level of employee engagement among
assistant registrars of Public Institution of Higher Learning in Malaysia. A
survey with a close-ended questionnaire was distributed among assistant
registrars of twenty public universities and 400 sets of questionnaire were
collected. Results show that assistant registrars of Public Universities are highly
engaged in their jobs. Further analysis was conducted on two categories of
factors that contribute to employee engagement namely psychological
conditions and job resources. Psychological meaningfulness was found to be the
most contributing factor of employee engagement. Based on the findings it can
be concluded that psychological conditions are more important than job
resources with regards to employee engagement.
