Abstract
A wealth of studies on work engagement is found in the literature. However, relating stress to work engagement among academicians of the private higher education institutions is the area that lacks a comprehensive research framework. Therefore, this study was aimed at 1). providing a review of the extant literature on stress and work engagement; 2). employing the ASSET model of stress to work engagement; further 3). hypothesizing the relationship among these variables, and finally 4). developing a conceptual framework. Based on the application of the ASSET model of stress, this paper proposes a model of the relationship between stress and work engagement through health and commitment. Suggestions for practice and future research are also presented.
