The Impact of Empowering Leadership on Employee Motivation, Well-being, and Behaviour: The Role of Personality Traits and Self-efficacy | Chapter 11 | The Evolving Blueprint, Strategic Leadership, VALUE-Driven Police Leaders and Ethical Excellence in Law Enforcement

 This study examines the effects of empowering leadership on employee motivation, extra-role behaviours, and well-being, while considering individual characteristics such as general self-efficacy and proactive personality. Drawing on self-determination theory and social cognitive theory, the study explores both the enabling and potential burdening aspects of empowering leadership. The research investigates how empowering leadership influences employee autonomy, responsibility, and overall engagement. Findings suggest that empowering leadership enhances motivation and well-being but may also lead to challenges if not implemented correctly. The results underscore the importance of balancing empowerment behaviours in leadership practices to optimise organisational outcomes. These findings contribute valuable insights for managers seeking to foster an effective and supportive work environment.
