Teacher engagement plays a critical role in enhancing educational outcomes and organizational success. However, the factors influencing teacher engagement, particularly the roles of school support and environment, remain inadeptly reexplored in the academic context. Sustaining teachers’ work engagement significantly impacts their schools and students. The aim of this study is to investigate factors that influence teachers’ engagement while performing their roles inside the school. School support and school environment are used to uncover its effect on teachers’ work engagement. In addition, the mediation role of the school environment on the association between school support and teachers’ work engagement is tested by using structural equation modeling. To achieve that, a survey containing four sections was used to collect data from 357 teachers. The findings of this study reveal the association between school support, teachers’ knowledge, perception of the school environment, and work engagement. In addition, the school environment is found to mediate the association between school support and work engagement. Based on these findings, implications for sustaining teachers’ engagement and future studies are discussed.
