Teachers are the backbone of any society as they shape and mould the nation builders.
With the implementation of NEP 2020, the responsibilities of the teachers have become
more diverse and require an enhanced engagement and commitment more than ever.
Hence it is important to understand their psychological capital and work engagement
as they enter the era of a new education Policy. Psychological capital (PsyCap) consists
of efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience that predicts the performance and satisfaction
of an individual working in an organizational setting (Luthans, Avolio, et al 2007). In
addition, work engagement is a positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is
characterized by vigor, dedication, and absorption (Schaufeli et al 2001). Therefore, in
the present study the relationship between the two variables was examined to assess
the positive performance and job satisfaction of college teachers. Purposive sampling
was employed. The sample consisted of 91 college teachers teaching in Nagaland.
Psychological Capital questionnaire PCQ (Luthans, Avolio and Avey, 2007) and Utrecht
Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli and Bakker, 2004) was used to collect the data.
Results were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
