Abstract
In post-secondary institutions, the one key ingredient to student success rates is faculty engagement. Community colleges have become the entry points for many students with the ending desire to attend traditional four-year colleges. They offer more individual attention, educational focus, and a greater degree of engagement between faculty and the students. Based on the belief that engagement factor becomes the pivotal contributors to institutions and their respective student success. Engagement is separated into various forms that lead to the success of faculty members. This study separated two very different forms of engagement, cognitive and emotional engagement. The findings of this study reveal an amazing trend delineating factors that contribute to engagement. Resoundingly, the data reveals that emotional intelligence (EI) is by far the greatest indicator of both cognitive and emotional engagement. In addition, these findings also show the individual constructs which comprise the EI competencies and how they are able to relate directly and indirectly to engagement. Finally, this study shows, with empirical evidence, the effect of shared vision on engagement using EI competencies. Essentially, this quantitative report identifies engagement factors as mediated through shared vision using EI competencies in post-secondary education.
