Industrial Management The performance of the Nigerian public sector has of recent been massively declining albeit the implementation of several reforms to correct the declining position. Moreover, there has been an intensified call from the citizens (academics and practitioners) to approach the situation through a different and more organic measure which would be effective. Similarly, the public sector employees attain their job satisfaction based on intrinsic values rather than extrinsic values as their private sector counterparts. Therefore, this situation calls for the need to examine the Nigerian public sector’s performance through the psychological antecedents of engagement. Based on the Social Exchange Theory and Job-demand resource theory, this study designed a research framework to assist the investigation of the required antecedents of engagement wholistically through their psychological elements (meaningfulness, safety, and availability). Job demand, autonomy, opportunity for training and development, and reward and recognition were investigated under the psychological meaningfulness antecedents, social support and transformational leadership were observed under the psychological safety antecedents, while role overload, work-role conflict, resources inadequacy, and self-efficacy were examined under the psychological availability antecedents of engagement.
