Abstract
The current study examines the influence of workload on disengagement among academician. In addition, the researcher explores the moderating effect of social support on the association between the workload and disengagement. The researcher collected data through an adapted questionnaire from 159 academicians of universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Regression analysis revealed workload has a positive association with disengagement. Furthermore, the results suggest that academician’s disengagement might be minimized by making reasonable demands in the working environment. Moreover, results suggested that social support moderates the relationship between workload and disengagement. From the current study, it has been concluded that the level of disengagement will decrease as the level of resources increases. The findings are significant for the academicians, researchers, and policy makers.
