Abstract
Drawing from psychological contract, social exchange and self- determination theory, this study proposes a model that examines the role of empowering leadership in influencing the employees’ goal orientation, task significance, and employee commitment. Data were collected from 252 employees who were working in NABH accredited hospitals in India. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results suggest that employees’ commitment is influenced directly by empowering leadership as well as indirectly through employees’ goal orientation, and task significance. Therefore, it is important to note that if leaders empower their subordinates, then employees’ goal orientation and task significance likely to increase and influence employees’ commitment. Theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.
