  • Title: Individual reactions to high involvement work processes: investigating the role of empowerment and perceived organizational support.
    Author: Butts MM, Vandenberg RJ, DeJoy DM, Schaffer BS, Wilson MG.
    Journal: J Occup Health Psychol; 2009 Apr; 14(2):122-36. PubMed ID: 19331475.
    Abstract:
    This study sought to understand how high involvement work processes (HIWP) are processed at the employee level. Using structural equation modeling techniques, the authors tested and supported a model in which psychological empowerment mediated the effects of HIWP on job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance, and job stress. Furthermore, perceived organizational support (POS) was hypothesized to moderate the relationships between empowerment and these outcomes. With exception for the empowerment-job satisfaction association, support was found for our predictions. Future directions for research and the practical implications of our findings for both employees and organizations are discussed.
