Abstract	Purpose: The study aims to investigate the impact of "decent work" dimensions on faculty members' work engagement levels in the higher education institutions in India. Design/methodology/approach: Data were obtained from 293 faculty members working in higher education institutes in India. The proposed study hypotheses were tested by deploying the statistical technique of multiple regression analysis using statistical package for social sciences Version-24. Findings: Results demonstrated that of the five dimensions of "decent work," only "access to health care" and "complementary values" were significant predictors of work engagement. "Adequate compensation," "free time and rest" and "safe interpersonal working conditions" as dimensions of "decent work" were not found to be significantly related to work engagement. Research limitations/implications: Findings encourage education policymakers to implement a "decent work" policy for faculty members with greater emphasis on ensuring workplace-fit and provision of adequate health-care facilities to keep the workforce engaged. Originality/value: It is one of the few studies conducted in the South-Asian context that highlight "decent work" as a crucial job resource, useful in enhancing the work engagement of faculty members in higher education institutions.
