AB  - Building upon the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this research offers an 
      in-depth exploration of the mechanisms by which idiosyncratic deals (I-deals), 
      such as personalized work arrangements, can enhance academics' psychological 
      empowerment (PE) and hence affect their work engagement. This study's purpose was 
      to investigate whether PE mediates the relationships between task and work 
      responsibilities I-deals, flexibility I-deals, and work engagement among 
      academics in higher education and whether the mediating effects are moderated by 
      academics' internal locus of control. Using an online platform, the survey 
      questionnaire was sent to 650 academics working in higher education. The results 
      reveal that task and work responsibilities I-deals and flexibility I-deals, are 
      positively associated with the academics' work engagement and that PE mediates 
      those relationships. Additionally, the internal locus of control strengthens the 
      positive relationship between task and work responsibilities I-deals and PE, and 
      it enhances the indirect effect of task and work responsibilities I-deals on 
      academics' work engagement through PE. Though, this study did not find the 
      moderating effect of internal locus of control on the flexibility I-deals-PE 
      relationship; however, the results indicate that internal locus of control boosts 
      the indirect effect of flexibility I-deals on academics' work engagement through 
      PE.
