Abstract
The current study inspected the generally held postulation that a low level of work engagement leads to deviant behavior and higher turnover intentions. To test the hypothesis, the study selected 335 employees from newly established higher educational institutions of Pakistan. The study found that employee work engagement is negatively related with deviant behavior and turnover intentions directed towards the organization. The results suggest that perceived supervisor support moderate the relationship between work engagement and deviant behavior. However, perceived supervisor support did not moderate the relationship between work engagement and turnover intentions. Based on the results, we concluded that perceived supervisor support may use as a payoff for comparatively low levels of work engagement. Implications and directions for future research are also highlighted
