Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to understand the significance of Locus of Control, Employee Engagement and Effectiveness among faculty members in Higher Institutions. We surveyed 151 faculty members in Delhi & NCR region in order to examine the relationship between Effectiveness, Locus of Control, and Employee Engagement as well as the potential moderating effect of Locus of Control in the relationship between Employee engagement and Effectiveness. It was found that both Employee Engagement and Locus of Control were significantly related to Effectiveness. Additionally, Locus of Control significantly and positively moderated the relationship between Employee Engagement and Effectiveness. This study was composed of a single survey of a relatively small number of Faculty members in one region of India. This study contributes to research on Locus of Control, and an increased understanding of Employee Engagement in emerging markets.
