Relationships among Job Fulfillment on the Empowerment and Job Commitment in Hair Salon Employees

Abstract

This study investigated relationships among job fulfillment, empowerment and job commitment among hair salon workers and suggest a way to enhance business management performances. For this, a self-administered questionnaire survey was performed among hair salon employees in their 20-40s. A total of 468 copies were used for final analysis, and the results found the following: First, job fulfillment had a partial influence on empowerment with statistical significance. In particular, it became more meaningful as compensation, prospect and motivation increased, showing the highest overall explanatory power. Second, job fulfillment had a statistically significant effect on job commitment. Specifically, as prospect and motivation increased, job commitment improved, revealing the highest overall explanatory power. Third, empowerment showed a partial influence on job commitment with statistical significance. In particular, as its influence and significance improved, job commitment increased, showing the highest overall explanatory power. Therefore, there should be continued efforts to increase beauty salon workers’ commitment to their work by providing environments in which they are motivated to work hard with dedication, which would in turn enhance business performances. It is anticipated that more extensive and more systematic studies would follow if subjects with a broader age range are examined. Furthermore, this study is necessary and meaningful in that it provides basic data which are needed in other related studies.
