The study also investigated the mediating effect of positive emotions on the relationship between religiosity, growth mindset, fixed mindset, and work engagement.

This study integrated two theories, i.e., the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model, to underpin the research framework. Questionnaires were distributed to 728 academics working in six different public universities in Algeria after permission was granted by each university's management. Out of the 728 questionnaires distributed, 415 questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 57%. However, only 337 questionnaires were usable for further analysis.

The results for the direct relationship revealed a significant effect of religiosity and growth mindset on positive emotions and work engagement. In contrast, a fixed mindset was negatively related to positive emotions and work engagement. The results also showed that positive emotions were positively related to work engagement.
