다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article presents the results of a study examining the relationships among empowering leadership, psychological capital and commitment to organizational change with primary data from a sample of 287 employees of automobile and petrochemical companies. The main findings of the study are as follows: first, we found that empowering leadership was positively associated with psychological capital and commitment to organizational change while there was also a positive relationship between psychological capital and commitment to organizational change. Second, our empirical analysis also found that psychological capital partially mediated the relationship of empowering leadership and commitment to organizational change. Thus, the hypothesis on the mediating role of psychological capital was supported. This study contributes to empowering leadership research by developing an analytical model, incorporating the role of psychological capital and commitment to organizational change. Based on these findings, the managerial implications and the limitations of the study were discussed with some suggestions for future research.
