摘要：AbstractTeacher's organizational commitment is important for school effectiveness and indirectly is able to affect the students’ outcome. Previous studies demonstrated that empowered followers display better commitment to the organization. When employees are empowered, they show a better level of self-confidence and are able to influence work environment in a positive manner. However, due to internal and external pressure faced by the schools, to what extent psychological empowerment could enhance organizational commitment among school teachers? Therefore, this study intends to investigate the influence of teachers’ psychological empowerment on their commitment. 258 daily primary school teachers in the district of Klang participated in this study. The findings revealed that there was a positive and moderate linear relationship between psychological empowerment and organizational commitment. Based on the findings, this study also provides recommendations for practices and future research.
