Examining the Role of Future Time Perspective (FTP) and Affective Commitment on the Work Engagement of Aging Filipino Professors: A Structural Equation Model
De Guzman, Allan B.; Dumantay, Martin Cyrus F.
Educational Gerontology, v45 n5 p324-333 2019
This study examined the roles of future time perspective and affective commitment on the work engagement of a select group of aging Filipino professoriate. A total of 208 respondents aged 40-60 years old, teaching at the largest Catholic University in the Philippines, were requested to accomplish a multi-aspect questionnaire covering the variables of the study. Data gathered were processed through SPSS v.17 and AMOS v.19. The structural equation model reveals (i) a positive relationship between future time perspective and affective commitment (ß = 0.485) and (ii) a positive relationship between affective commitment and dimensions of work engagement, namely, vigor (ß = 0.986), dedication (ß = 0.943), and absorption (ß = 0.983). Also, of all the dimensions of work engagement, absorption has the biggest impact, while dedication has the smallest impact on work engagement. Findings yielded in this study provide valuable information in structuring human resource programs that can help address the aging workforce's needs and concerns, thus improving their future orientation, commitment, and work engagement.
