This study aimed to assess the relationship between management commitment, psychological empowerment, and job performance among Palestinian academic employees in higher education institutions. A multi-wave survey was utilized and 665 academics were recruited from several public and private universities in West Bank, in which the stratified sampling method was adopted to select universities. Findings demonstrated that participants reported moderate levels of management commitment and job performance and agreeable levels of psychological empowerment. Management commitment and psychological empowerment positively correlated with job performance ( < 0.01). However, management commitment had a direct influence on job performance and management commitment had a relationship with psychological empowerment ( < 0.01). Thus, strategies should be carried out to enhance management commitment and psychological empowerment to improve job performance among academic staff.
本研究旨在评估巴勒斯坦高等教育机构学术人员的管理承诺、心理授权与工作绩效之间的关系。采用了多轮调查，并从约旦河西岸的几所公立和私立大学招募了665名学者，其中采用分层抽样方法选择大学。研究结果表明，参与者报告的管理承诺和工作绩效水平中等，心理授权水平适宜。管理承诺和心理授权与工作绩效呈正相关（<0.01）。然而，管理承诺对工作绩效有直接影响，且管理承诺与心理授权有关系（<0.01）。因此，应实施相应策略来提高管理承诺和心理授权，以提升学术人员的工作绩效。
