Abstract
In spite of the growing attention to employee empowerment, there exists little understanding of how the process of employee empowerment occurs?, what are the psychological processes underlying employee empowerment? and What important organizational variables reliably predict employee empowerment? Although many authors have emphasized the critical role of leadership in the empowerment process, there are few scientific studies that have examined the effects of leadership behaviors on employee empowerment. Using the existing literature and theories, the focus of the current study is to answer the following question: How do transformational leaders empower employees? Using data collected, results of analyses suggest that transformational leadership has much impact on employee empowerment. Follow- up analyses indicated that there is significance relation between transformational leadership and meaning, choice, competence, and impact.
