| One important factor in continuity of any organization is human resources that are considered by organizations' managers. Employee engagement and commitment are major success factors for the organizations. Empowerment heightens employees’ sense of personal control and motivates them to engage in work, which in turn results in positive managerial and organizational outcomes.
