Enhancing work motivation and organizational commitment through empowering leadership: Educational setting

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the impact of empowering leadership on employee work motivation and organizational commitment. To deepen the theoretical foundation of the study, a literature review was conducted. The study used a descriptive assessment and correlational research design. The study population consisted of the employees of Divine Word College of Laoag. The data was gathered through research questionnaires. The study found that, overall, there is no significant correlation between empowering leadership and work motivation, as well as organizational commitment. The study suggests that the variances in work motivation and organizational commitment are not associated with empowering leadership. However, when considering individual dimensions of empowering leadership, autonomy/independence is significantly correlated with external regulation.
