Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of this study is to determine how front-line employees' involvement with their employment is impacted by providing them with the decision-making authority. "Administrative empowerment" is what we term this. Employees who are engaged feel excited, devoted, and in line with the mission and values of their company. Design/methodology/approach: This study employed the analytical quantitative research design, with a sample size of 217 employees of Bahrain's GPIC Private Company in order to gather data. Then, we examined the outcomes using a variety of statistical techniques, including multiple regression analysis, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis. Findings: Main findings of this study include that workers are more enthusiastic about their jobs when they have more decision-making authority. This was a good, strong relationship. We also discovered that giving employees greater power affected how involved they were with their work, even after accounting for other elements such as the worker's demographics or the organization's regulations. Overall, our research demonstrates that granting employees more decision-making authority is a wise strategy for raising engagement and passion at work.
