Sense of Belonging

Sense of belonging refers to the degree to which academics feel valued by the institution, engaged, comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work, and a part of the university community. Research shows that when people feel included at work they report higher job satisfaction, well-being, and productivity thereby reducing turnover intentions.
