THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EMPOWERMENT ON EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MEDIATION OF EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE.

Abstract

Globalization has brought about enormous change in the organisations. Psychological wellbeing impacts the efficiency of employees; hence this is one of a very important criteria for organisations to consider. Along with this the employee engagement and resilience affect the performance. Primary objective of the study is to examine the correlation between psychological empowerment, employee resilience and employee engagement. The research also examines the mediating role resilience in relationship between empowerment and engagement. Given the highly competitive and dangerously stressful nature of hospital employment, hospitals must devise a strategy to keep a motivated workforce that can adapt to a changing environment. Empowering employees psychologically and making them resilient have a modest effect on how engaged employees are. An important factor in understanding a lot of the differences in employee resilience is psychological empowerment. For the purpose of present study, a cross-sectional approach has been used. The study hypotheses were analysed using SEM-PLS technique. The study reveals that there is a strong link between psychological empowerment and employee resilience. Both employee resilience and psychological empowerment have a small effect on employee involvement. Research suggests that prioritising psychological empowerment is important for fostering a sense of belongingness and concern in workers' thoughts, which in turn can enhance their motivation and focus on improving performance. Psychological empowerment, when combined with employee resilience as a mediator, can enhance employee engagement and create a favourable atmosphere for increased productivity.
