Recent research has encouraged the study of psychological empowerment in public
organizations owing to its benefits for optimum service delivery and performance
improvement in the public context. This study analyzes how learning goal orientation, proveperformance
goal orientation, and avoid-performance goal orientation are related to
psychological empowerment and how such empowerment influences well-being outcomes
within the context of public employees. Analyses of data from 553 public-sector employees
showed that only learning goal orientation strongly and positively influences psychological
empowerment. Furthermore, the results support the positive and significant relationship
between psychological empowerment and both job satisfaction and affective commitment,
and the negative link with job anxiety levels. Theoretical and practical implications, as well
as future directions for the psychological empowerment issue, are discussed. [-]
