“…Zimmerman (2000) developed the empowerment theory, which offers a framework for comprehending and encouraging adolescents' healthy growth throughout this stage of life. Psychological empowerment is an important variable for adolescents; it enhances students' academic performance, responsible decision making, mental health, well-being, positive adjustment, motivation, self-efficacy, flexibility, self-esteem, and engagement in learning (Alomosh & Sallam, 2022;Hameli et al, 2023;Messman et al, 2022;Tseng et al, 2021;Zimmerman, 2000). As well as psychological empowerment, it prepares youth as leaders, enabling them to build group norms, team identification, and leadership competence.…”

The study also aimed to determine whether psychological empowerment, academic persistence, and future orientation contribute to predicting academic adjustment. A total of 180 adolescents’ students in grades 7 through 11 from some public middle and high schools in Kafr El-Sheikh city, Egypt, were included in the study. Scales of psychological empowerment, academic persistence, future orientation, and academic adjustment were used to collect data. The given data was examined using the appropriate statistical tests. The findings revealed a positive correlation between the studied variables. The findings also showed no differences in psychological empowerment, academic persistence, future orientation, or academic adjustment between males and females.

Purpose Knowledge is an important resource that becomes obsolete if not shared in time. Therefore, this study aims to examine how employees’ perceived fun at work affects their psychological empowerment to evoke knowledge-sharing behavior. The study further explored the conditional role of inclusive leadership between the same. Design/methodology/approach Using the time lag approach, the data for the current study was collected from 355 employees working in IT firms. The study used convenience sampling, and structural equation modeling was used for hypotheses testing. Findings The results showed that perceptions of fun have a favorable impact on employees' knowledge sharing behavior and psychological empowerment mediate this relationship. Furthermore, there was no empirical evidence of the conditional role of inclusive leadership between fun and psychological empowerment. However, the results of the alternative model indicated that inclusive leadership moderates the relationship between psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing. Research limitations/implications The findings reveal that management should nurture fun at work as it can lead to psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing. The study also reveals that the role of leadership is important for empowerment and knowledge sharing relationships. Originality/value Based on the conservation of resources and self-determination perspectives, this study proposes and empirically investigates the mechanism of psychological empowerment and inclusive leadership which has largely been an unattended area of research in knowledge sharing literature.

Purpose Creativity is widely recognized as a key driver of innovation and competitive advantage in today’s dynamic business landscape. As organizations strive to foster a culture of innovation, it becomes imperative to understand the factors that enhance creativity among employees. This study aims to explore the role of employee empowerment in promoting creativity at the workplace. Design/methodology/approach This study used empowerment measures to determine the impact of employee empowerment on employee creativity. Creativity was also measured based on constructs reviewed in literature. An online questionnaire survey was conducted among 170 faculty members of different private universities of Bangladesh. The sample was chosen based on a convenience method. The responses were analyzed using partial least square (PLS) approach with the help of software SmartPLS. Findings This study comes to the conclusion that employee empowerment plays a crucial role as a forerunner to creativity at work. The configuration process is mostly accelerated and facilitated by university officials. Research limitations/implications Because they are statistically significant in establishing a climate for employee creativity at work, it is necessary to empirically determine the percentage impact level of the constructs of employee engagement known as “Leadership and Organizational Culture” and “Internal and External Enhancement Factors.” In addition, employee engagement is not the sole element influencing creativity at work. This suggests the need to quantify the relative influence that employee engagement has on other workplace drivers of creativity and innovation. Practical implications This study will help university authorities to instill management development programs to enhance their understanding about employees’ different psychological needs and expectations. Moreover, university management can find ways to implement various teacher development programs to promote growth mindset among the teachers. Organizations can leverage these insights to design and implement strategies that empower employees, leading to a more innovative and adaptable workforce. Social implications The implications of this research extend beyond individual organizations to society as a whole, as fostering creativity has broader implications for economic growth, productivity and overall well-being. By nurturing employee empowerment, organizations can not only enhance their competitive advantage but also contribute to societal progress through the generation of novel ideas, products and services. Originality/value This study was conducted on the private university faculty members to understand how the empowerment works in imparting creativity. The context of this study was educational institutions in contrast to the commercial organizations.
