dc.descriptionThis study examined the influence of the nurturance of young faculty on improved job engagement and the moderating role of institutional citizenship behaviour. This study used a quantitative research design, adopting a survey method. Young faculty (Graduate Assistants-Lecturer 1) were considered for this survey. A total of 261 young faculty were drawn from all the colleges of the three randomly selected private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. Structural Equation Modelling, Smart Partial Least Square (3.0) was used to show the level of relationships and the resultant effect of young faculty nurturing initiatives on improved job engagement with the moderating role of institutional citizenship behaviour. The findings highlight a significant influence of nurturance of young faculty on improved job engagement (teaching, research and community service), while the institutional citizenship behaviour significantly moderated the relationship between nurturance of young faculty and improved job engagement. Based on the empirical evidence from the study, it is concluded that virtual learning support indirectly influenced improved job engagement among the young scholars in Nigeria private universities. This study contributes significantly by filling a research gap in strategic human resource management and organisational behaviour literature in the institution of higher learning. The empirical studies on the relationship between NYF, ICB and IJE have not been sufficiently researched, particularly within the context of Nigeria educational sector.
