To achieve the research objectives, the researchers adopted a Descriptive-Analytical Approach to describe the phenomenon under investigation. The research targeted three Iraqi universities (Tikrit University, Kirkuk University, Samarra University) as the study field, with a total population size of (364) academic leaders. The questionnaire was formulated as the main data collection tool, and the final sample size of the research, after excluding invalid forms for statistical analysis, was (179). The survey was conducted both in the field and electronically. The research findings revealed the availability of job engagement in the selected Iraqi universities according to the perception of academic leaders.
