Abstract: The responsibility of a sustainable tomorrow lies on the shoulders of teachers. Recognising its importance, the present study aims to develop and test a life satisfaction model of intention to contribute in sustainability through the lenses of servant leadership theory. The sample consists of 263 full-time permanent teachers working in selected Government Technical Institutes/Universities of India. The data was analysed with structural equation modelling. The findings reveal that benevolence, interpersonal forgiveness and affect significantly contribute toward enhanced life satisfaction which in turn influence the intention to contribute in sustainability. There is a partial mediating effect of interpersonal forgiveness on the link between benevolence and life satisfaction. The present study emphasises that counselling services in universities may develop and implement psycho-educational training programs focusing on benevolence, forgiveness, affect balance and life satisfaction to develop intentions to contribute toward sustainability.

Keywords: benevolence; interpersonal forgiveness; positive affect; negative affect; life satisfaction; intention to contribute in sustainability; servant leadership theory. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
