Abstract
With the rapid paced changes in the modern workplace, research on employee job satisfaction has become imperative to work and organizational psychologists. Striving for a harmonious work environment for all personnel, researchers have become curious about which variables play a role in employee job satisfaction. Due to Industrial Organizational psychology being in its infancy, further research on the matter has a way to go. Our research model investigates the relationship between levels of empowering leadership style on employee job satisfaction, with self-efficacy beliefs as a moderator. Prior research has indicated that the variables have intractably played a role in forming and maintaining a healthy work environment. The cross-sectional research comprised of 27 dyads, in a leader and follower dynamic in the workplace. A combination of opportunity, convenience and snowball sampling was used to recruit participants. From the multi-source data, the results gave insignificant results. Alternatively, the decision to instead use the complete dataset which consists of all un-paired dyad responses as well, allowed for more interpretable statistical significance due to an increase in sample size. The results displayed a non- significant negative relationship between empowering leadership and job satisfaction. Furthermore, the relationship between self-efficacy and job satisfaction was insignificant and negative as well. The moderating effect was undeniably weak, due to several limits in the methodology of the design. Future researchers are urged to replicate the study with a more diverse and larger sample size to fully grasp the nature between these variables.
