Abstract

This study attempts to investigate factors that influence the psychological empowerment with work motivation and work withdrawal intention of school principals in Malaysia. The sample population comprised school principals. A total of 101 self-administered questionnaires were analysed. Pearson product moment correlation coefficients (Pearson r's) or Point bi-serial (rpb) coefficients were computed between the psychological empowerment total scores and those of the independent variables (or subvariables). Total scores from the four psychological empowerment dimensions and the PE-Overall were correlated individually with scores from the independent variables of Work Motivation and Work Withdrawal Intention. Results indicated all five aspects of psychological empowerment (PE-Overall, PE-Meaning, PE-Competence, PE-Self-determination and PE-Impact) correlated positively and significantly with the Intrinsic Work motivation domain. This study also proves that when withdrawal intentions increased, the dimensional component levels of psychological empowerment decreased correspondingly.
