Chapter 2: Literature review
RO1: Comprehend the conceptual knowledge of employee empowerment and job
satisfaction
Employee empowerment and job satisfaction
According to Eliophotou-Menon & Ioannou, (2016) empowerment facilitates the managers
for performing their duty and assists the workforce to accomplish their task positively by
developing a healthy working culture in the organization. Under this case, top management of
the organization should be accountable for more responsibility to effectively lead the
employees towards their job completion.
In contrast to this, Jung & Shin (2015) stated that job satisfaction is referred to as the sense of
employees towards their job or duty and it also entails evaluation of the entire job experience
of the workforce. Job satisfaction considers many aspects which are a relationship between
employees and supervisor, feeling of duty accomplishment, satisfaction from payment for
their work product, the physical environment of the workplace. Job satisfaction is also known
as the result of empowerment.
As per the view of Dahiru Pihie Basri & Hassan (2017) employees who are working at the
low level in the organization, they could be empowered by providing the opportunity to grow,
give them support and resources for improving their skills and offer them appropriate
information related to enhance their knowledge. As per the social approach of empowerment
every employee should have power at all levels of the system. Hence they would know how
to maintain their social circle in the organization.
In opposed to this, Khany & Tazik 2016) stated that the psychological state of employee or
individual to sense the feeling of their control on their job or duty is psychological
empowerment. This empowerment is concentrated on the experience of employees towards
their duty or work rather than concentrating on managerial activities, which affects the
performance of an employee at an entire level of the system.
RO2: Critically evaluates the evaluate the impact of employee empowerment to enhance
job satisfaction Ghana’s education system
As per the view of Zareie & Navimipour (2016) workforces who are empowered by their
education system to take accountability for their work, and who are offered with favorable,
constructive feedback for their efforts and are more prospected to consider innovation and
new ideas to their company. It is assessed that when workforces understand the significance
of company and comprehend the expectation of the company then they would be in a better
position for contributing suggestions and ideas.
