dc.description.abstractThe study is focused on empowerment and leadership effectiveness amongst Malaysian managers .The objective of the research is to identify the level of empowerment practiced by Malaysian Managers, to determine whether demographic factors (leader’s characteristics and organization’s characteristics) contribute to the relationship between empowerment and leadership effectiveness and finally to ascertain the relationship between empowerment components (impact, competence, self-determination and meaning) with leadership effectiveness. The population in this research is the managers in Malaysian organizations. The unit of analysis in this study is the individual manager which also included executives who are also responsible in overseeing other people’s work as well. In order to simplify the sampling method, sample selected from managers working in various organizations in Penang and Kedah. The questionnaire was personally distributed to each of the representative from the organizations. The major statistical tools were used to analyse data. The finding of the study indicated there are slightly high values of level of empowerment practiced in the organizations. Also, empowerment, regardless of the leader’s characteristics and organization’s characteristics has the predictive explanatory power on the leadership effectiveness. The study also found that impact in empowerment is positively related to leadership effectiveness, competence and meaning empowerment is not related to leadership effectiveness whilst self-determination in empowerment is not related to job satisfaction and task accomplishment. It only related to personal growth.en_US
