Providing support at work place is one of the strategies to enhance employee's level of work engagement. The purpose of this study is to examine whether perceptions of perceived organization support, perceived supervisor support and perceived co-worker support are related to employee work engagement. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypothesis on sample of 302 employees of public university in Ethiopia. The result indicates that all the three dimensions of support are positively and significant predictors of employee work engagement. The study finally states that support at workplace can play an extrinsic motivational role in enhancing employee work engagement in Ethiopian public university academicians.
