One important factor in continuity of any organization is human resources that are
considered by organizations' managers. Employee engagement and commitment are major
success factors for the organizations. Empowerment heightens employees' sense of personal
control and motivates them to engage in work, which in turn results in positive managerial
and organizational outcomes. Objective: To identify the relationship between empowerment
and job commitment among nursing educators. Setting: The study was carried out at faculty
of nursing in El-Minia University. Subjects: The study subjects included a total number of 80
nursing educators. Tool: Empowerment and Job Commitment Questionnaire was used to
collect the necessary data. Results: A statistically significant positive weak correlation
between empowerment and job commitment of the studied educators was revealed. Where, the

psychological empowerment dimension and workplace culture was the highest ranked
structural empowerment dimension. Recommendations: It was recommended to develop
trust, fairness, and better communication to nursing educators through good team working,
