The main purpose of this study was to identify the impact of
psychological empowerment on employee engagement. Further the
current research identifies the relationship among above-stated
variables and the impact for the four dimensions of the independent
variable on the dependent variable were also measured separately in
order to have a better understanding of the situation.
This study was carried out as a cross-sectional study among a sample
of 63 executive level employees selected from a population of 75
executives at Camso Loadstar (Pvt) Ltd, which is the largest solid tyre
manufacturer in the world. A standard widely used and self –administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data through a
survey. After determining the sample size based on the sampling size
calculation table of Krejcie & Morgan (1970), random sampling was
applied to distribute the questionnaires to the sample of 63 among the
population of 75 executives.
To analyze data gathered SPSS 23 (Statistical Package for the Social
Science) was used. To interpret the data which analyzed, the
researcher presented the results using the descriptive statistics,
correlation coefficient, and simple regression analysis.
Statistical results revealed that there is a significant impact of
psychological empowerment on employee engagement of the executive
level employees. Findings revealed that out of the four dimensions
(meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact) only two
dimensions of psychological empowerment, namely competence and
impact have a significant influence on the dependent variable,
employee engagement. Cross-validation of the findings of this study to
be done in different industries and different cultures comparatively
among a bigger sample in subsequent studies is recommended, which
will add more insights to the substance of the present study.
