Abstract

Multiple environmental pressures are exerting pressure on the police institution, and police officers must work hard to tailor their services to the needs of the community. This study was a systematic literature review aiming to investigate the impact of empowering leadership on organizational commitment in the police institution using Vos Viewer application. A total of ten journals published between 2018 and 2023 was reviewed thoroughly. The findings confirm that the empowering leadership has an effect on the organizational commitment. Leaders practicing the empowering leadership increased employee compatibility with the organization, resulting in increased organizational commitment. The empowering leadership also improved person-organization fit with meaningful organizational goals, demonstrated trust in subordinates, and promoted participatory decision making. This leadership was strongly linked to the police institution’s organizational effectiveness. The leaders’ delegation of authority to the subordinates provided not only autonomy, variety, and opportunities for development, but also compelled individuals, particularly those working in law enforcement agencies, to carry out their job responsibilities. To ensure that the police officers perform their duties to the best of their abilities, top management must take appropriate steps.
