摘要

This study explores the intricate dynamics of sustainability and employee engagement in Northern Cyprus higher education institutions, leveraging Social Exchange Theory and Stakeholder Theory. By examining how sustainability initiatives and engagement programs influence organizational outcomes, the research provides critical insights into institutional effectiveness. Employing a rigorous cross-sectional design, we surveyed 286 university personnel across six institutions using validated, multi-dimensional questionnaires. Our comprehensive methodology captured nuanced data on employee engagement programs, sustainable practices, job productivity, satisfaction, and retention through carefully adapted measurement scales with robust reliability coefficients. Key findings reveal significant positive relationships between employee engagement programs and sustainable practices, demonstrating their collective impact on job productivity and satisfaction. Notably, while sustainable practices positively influenced job outcomes, they showed no direct significant effect on employee retention. The study uncovered complex mediating mechanisms: sustainable practices mediated engagement programs’ impact on job outcomes, while engagement programs mediated sustainable practices’ organizational influence. Our research provides transformative implications for higher education management, suggesting that integrated sustainability and engagement strategies, rather than siloed approaches, can optimize institutional performance. By bridging theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence, this study advances understanding of organizational dynamics in academic settings and offers actionable insights for strategic human resource development. These findings underscore the strategic importance of holistic, interconnected organizational approaches that simultaneously address sustainability, employee engagement, and institutional effectiveness.
