Engagement at work is one of the important factors to determine an individual's performance at work. An engaged employee is well aware of the scenario of his organization and works to improve his performance as well as work for the benefit of the organization. Engagement makes an employee more accountable for his organization and provides justice to his work, henceforth that leads to the growth and development of the nation. This study is an attempt to validate Utrecht Work Engagement Scale(UWES) on university teachers in the Indian context. The statements in the Utrecht scale are divided into three sub-scales viz. Vigour, Dedication, and Absorption. The study was done on 300 University teachers in Punjab(India). Confirmatory factor analysis results showed a superior fit of the three-factor structure (vigor and dedication) with 9 items over the threefactor structure with 17 items. The Utrecht scale validated in the present study is applicable to measure employee engagement of University teachers.
