With the changing dynamics of evaluating faculty productivity that has been a matter of discussion across all academic institutions, there is a need to understand the various components of Faculty productivity that have changed over a period of time. The productivity in research related aspects is one such dimension which needs to be thoroughly looked at considering the fact that the productivity in research is a direct measure of innovation of an Institute and that of the University and Society at large. While research productivity basically gets influenced by a lot of factors, those that pertain to the institution are of paramount importance as the variations in the institutional support could have a direct bearing on the faculty research performance. While this is true for all kinds of educational institutions of higher education, engineering domain has gained tremendous significance in the recent past as far as the research related outcomes are concerned amongst the faculty members. The objective of the present research is thus to understand the intricate role of Institution Support encompassing: leadership, environment and facilities on the research productivity of faculty in engineering Institutes. A multi-state stratified random sampling was employed to collect data from 381 faculties. The data was collected from the questionnaire method and was analyzed through tools such as descriptive statistics and correlations. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression techniques were employed to understand the intricate role of the components of institutional support on faculty research productivity. The results reveal that all the components of institutional support had a direct bearing on the research productivity of Faculty at large and were instrumental enough in explaining the variations in the productivity in research emphasis and culture for the institutions as a whole.
