Employee Work Engagement An Analysis of Antecedents in Teaching Context Silva, Susil K.; Dewasiri, Jayantha N.; Dangalla, Lilani S. Employee work engagement has gained considerable attention since engaged employees construct positive work-related outcomes. Knowledge of antecedents of employee work engagement is essential for devising intervention strategies. Hence, the main purpose is to discover antecedents that have significant effects on work engagement in teaching context. A quantitative strategy was adopted, with a structured questionnaire administered for the entire working population. Multiple linear regression analysis and engagement scores were the statistical methods used with SPSS software version 21. According to the results, eight of the 14 antecedents evaluated had a substantial impact on teachers' work engagement. Passion for teaching shows the higher effect, while staff recognition has the lowest effect. Furthermore, only 18% of teachers are actively engaged, with 43% engaged and 39% actively disengaged. Contextual novelty, a high sample size, and testing a model with 14 antecedents provide significant originality to the study. Further, empirical evidence has been provided to fill the knowledge gap on antecedents, particularly in general educational environments in Southeast Asia. This study provides insights for both school-level administrators and national officials seeking to improve pedagogical efficacy.

Impact of Social Media Usage on Psychological Wellbeing of Undergraduates at a Selected State University of Sri Lanka: The Mediating Role of Smartphone Addiction Wasala, W.M.A.G.N.K.; Rathnakara, K.A.K.S. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of social media usage on psychological wellbeing of undergraduates at a selected State University in Sri Lanka with the mediating role of smartphone addiction. To achieve this purpose, the researchers established three basic questions. Those are to investigate the impact of social media usage on psychological wellbeing, the impact of social media usage on smartphone addiction, and the impact of smartphone addiction on psychological wellbeing of undergraduates at the selected State University. Data was collected using structured questionnaire from 368 undergraduates within six faculties at the University by using Stratified sampling method, through Morgan Table. Quantitative research approach was used for this study. The data were analyzed using reliability analysis, validity analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. According to the study findings, all proposed hypotheses were supported. The result of the study revealed that Social Media Usage has a negative impact (R = -.167) on psychological well-being, but this negative impact increased with Smartphone Addiction. The study findings would benefit university students, university administration and academic staff, and the government. Further, it was recommended that undergraduates should have self control when using their social media and avoid smartphone addiction as well as take responsibility for their psychological well-being.

Factors Affecting to Acceptance and Adaption of HR Analytics of Apparel Companies in Western province Sri Lanka Dissanayake, D. M. T. D.; Kumari, A. G. M. A. This study examines the factors influencing the adoption and acceptance of Human Resource (HR) analytics in Sri Lanka’s apparel industry, focusing on bridging the gap between theoretical advancements and practical implementation. As HR analytics becomes an essential strategic tool for human capital management, understanding its key drivers is crucial. This research explores the impact of social influence, resource availability, data availability, and HR professionals’ self-efficacy on adopting of HR analytics technologies. Using a cross sectional survey of HR experts in apparel companies, the study finds strong positive relationships among these factors, with data availability and self-efficacy emerging as the most significant predictors. While resource availability shows a positive association, its impact on adoption remains statistically insignificant. The findings highlight the necessity of equipping HR professionals with the required tools and fostering confidence in analytics driven decision-making. Organizations should prioritize structured training programs and create supportive environments that enable HR specialists to engage effectively with analytics. By addressing key barriers to data-driven HR practices, this study contributes to the broader understanding of HR analytics adoption in developing economies and provides insights applicable to other labor-intensive industries.
