The relationship between psychological contracts and university teachers’ work engagement: the moderating role of demands-abilities fit

Jiamin Yang, Liying Fan, Yijie Zhao, Shanshan Feng

Short summary

A positive psychological contract (PC) is linked to higher work engagement (WE) in university teachers (β = 0.56, p < 0.001), with interpersonal obligations being a key driver (β = 0.26, p < 0.001). This relationship is strengthened when teachers perceive a good fit between job demands and their abilities (DA fit) (β = 0.14, p < 0.001).
