Success of any organization is determined by its workforce, and at the foundation of every successful educational institution are engaged teachers whose contributions push their institution to touch the peaks of glory.

In this study the predictor variable is teacher's engagement and criterion variable is performance.

The findings confirmed that engagement is a significant predictor of university performance. Furthermore the findings of this study suggest that organizational strategies, culture & values aspects of engagement should be given due consideration in educational settings. Introduction Employee engagement is an important driving force of performance and overall outcomes for any organization. The performance of an academic institution depends on the engagements of its academicians. Engineering the futuristic minds set greatly depends on academician's approach of transferring and transforming the knowledge. According to Hellevig (2012) engagement is a state in which employees concentrate on their tasks and they are willing to go an extra mile to achieve ultimate outcomes which are in alignment with the strategies and values of organization. The Success of educational institutions is denoted by its academicians whose engagements are all about research, creativity, innovation, learning, teaching, sharing and nation building through knowledge, wisdom and excellence. Work engagements of academicians seem to be a blessing for organizational success. Employee engagement is such a vast concept which covers the whole personality of an employee because engagement demands both physical and mental affiliation with work and organization. Employee engagement directly affects both individual and organizational performance. Ronald (1999) discussed that engaged employees enjoy their task two and half time more than disengaged ones who use to complain their health problems, give lame excuses and do not show excitement about their tasks. Engaged employees seem to be mentally, emotionally and physically attached with their work. They show worth, excitement for the given tasks and become more energetic. Disengaged workers create problems and confusions all around and they utilize their energies for negativities and become counterproductive. It was found in insync surveys that engaged workers remain completely involved in their work and disengaged ones commit more mistakes. Employee engagement has a great implications for those organizations where safety is being given due weightage. Organizations that wish to improve levels of employee engagement can focus on increasing and strengthening employees' perceptions of support they receive from the organization (Saks, 2006). Educational institutions in general and institutions in AJK in particular suffer from problems of quality performance and lack of enabling environment. This study is one of the first of its kind in AJ&K to be conducted for the research on academician's engagement and performance. In the present study an attempt is made to examine the impact of engagement on performance issues. Employee engagement is about how your employees really feel about your organization? (Yee,2012) highlighted some very good questions like: do the employee feel sense of pride of belonging? Do the employees/academicians suggest their friends, acquaintances, relatives to get admission or to join this organization? Will the employees want their children to join this organization as a student or even as an employee, after completing education? This study attempts to work on the same line and customize this set of questions for local settings.
