Employees’ Empowerment and Engagement in Attaining Personal and Organisational Goals

Abstract

Employee empowerment and engagement are critical for any given organization as these positively influence workers to produce better results and attain both personal and company gaols. This specific study focuses on LPG Cyprus Company, where the subject of the employee empowerment and engagement is analysed through a qualitative research design using interviews with the management and the employees about how they are treated and what they think about their company with regards to the subject matter. The findings revealed that while there was a cordial relationship among the management and employees, there was a need for the management to strengthen their strategies to empower the employees and engage them more fruitfully in the working processes.

Examining the role of internal communication and employee engagement in Cyprus-based medium-sized organisations in times of challenging strategic changes

“…The model facilitated in understanding the concept of employee engagement. The finding of the study were congruent with existing literature (Ababneh et al, 2019;Bekirogullari, 2019;Bharadwaj, 2014;Chmielecki, 2015;Croonen, 2010;Eskelinen et al, 2017;Gagnon et al, 2009;Gupta and Sharma, 2016;Mansoor and Hassan, 2016;Martinez and Hurtado, 2018;Mazzei and Ravazzani, 2014;McBain, 2007;Men, 2014;Mishra et al, 2014;Neill, 2015;Saunders and Thornhill, 2004;Stevanovic and Gmitrovic, 2015;Vercic and Vokic, 2017). The findings of the study facilitated in proving that the formulated hypothesis should be accepted.…”

“…According to Mansoor and Hassan (2016), the dimensions of engaging employees at work include the management of the company, communication, learning and development, job role, and collaboration. In a recent study, Bekirogullari (2019) emphasised that employee engagement is essential in organisations because it supports the workers' creativity. A close but cordial relationship among the management and employees is essential.…”

“…In the literature review section, it was identified that the concepts of internal communication and employee engagement have been studied extensively. In existing literature, researchers indicated that in large organisations, there exists a relationship between internal communication and employee engagement (Ababneh et al, 2019;Bekirogullari, 2019;Bharadwaj, 2014;Bjerke and Ind, 2015;Chmielecki, 2015;Croonen, 2010;Eskelinen et al, 2017;Gagnon et al, 2009;Gupta and Sharma, 2016;Mansoor and Hassan, 2016;Martinez and Hurtado, 2018;Mazzei and Ravazzani, 2014;McBain, 2007;Men, 2014;Mishra et al, 2014). Conversely, there is limited literature in medium-sized organisations.…”

The impact of employee empowerment on organizational performance: A mediating role of employee engagement and organisational citizenship behaviour

“…Structural empowerment motivates employees thereby increasing their level of engagement towards the organisation (Alhozi, Al Hawamdeh & Al-Edenat, 2021), and consequently, provides the opportunity to retain employees for higher productivity. The management bodies of companies are encouraged to apply the best empowerment strategies to empower their workers for higher level of engagement for better outcomes (Bekirogullari, 2019). For instance, employees should be given the opportunity to progress in the banks, having supervisor and social support, while relevant information is allowed to flow from the right source to the employees at the right time to improve the employees' sense of engagement for optimal performance.…”

Kariyer Engeli Olarak Cam Tavanin Okullarda Personel Güçlendirmeye Etkisi

“…Personel güçlendirme bir kalkınma stratejisi ve örgütsel refahtır (Pitoyo, 2018). Personelin güçlendirilmesi ve katılımı herhangi bir örgüt için kritik bir öneme sahiptir çünkü personelin daha iyi sonuçlar elde etmesi hem bireysel hem de örgütsel kazanımları elde etmesini olumlu yönde etkiler (Bekiroğulları, 2019). Personel güçlendirme gücün doğrudan personele verilmesi değil, çalışanın bilgisinin ve motivasyonun güçlendirilmesi ile gücün ortaya çıkarılmasıdır (Behyarfar, Nabizadeh ve Behyarfae, 2016).…”
