Understanding the role of Employee Empowerment in Employee Performance with the Mediation effect of Performance Appraisal in IT Organizations – A Study

Abstract

Many IT companies are facing employee performance issues in the technological era. Human Resources Management is taking initiatives by empowering them to improve the performance of employees. The present paper sought to examine the impact of employee empowerment on the performance of employees with the mediation effect of the performance assessment in IT companies. The study considered empowering factors and, with an exploratory factor analysis, examined the most influential factors in the performance of employees and found that knowledge sharing was highly influenced and knowledge sharing identified in the study enhanced work operations. Updating new skills and being able to organize more informatively with their colleagues will boost staff empowerment, which is found to be moderately influenced. The study used the Andrew F Hayes Mediation effect to assess the impact of employee empowerment on employee performance in relation to the assessment and found that staff empowerment influences their performance and can be mediated through a performance assessment. It is therefore very important that each company improves its capacity building activities and a good performance assessment in order to increase the performance of its employees
