A sample of 310 business students chosen randomly completed a self-reported questionnaire for the research. Data processing and analysis were done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 and SmartPLS 3.3.9, respectively. Results reveal that university support positively and significantly predict students' online learning engagement. Furthermore, students' vitality enhances the positive effect of university support on students’ online learning engagement. This study appears to be one of the first to have investigated a model linking university support, online learning engagement and student vitality from the perspective of higher institutions of learning. The findings suggest higher education managers must build students' states of vitality in order to enhance their online learning engagement during periods of pandemic.
