Abstract
A case study of Ghana's Public Procurement Authority was used in the research to examine the connection between employee empowerment and performance in the public sector. According to prior studies, organisations must apply motivating personnel practices to achieve these goals, particularly employee empowerment because it is known to be essential for fostering relationships of trust with their organisations that boost performance.
Employee training, fostering a work environment that values employee input and autonomy, and providing employees with access to information and feedback are the three parts of this empowerment. There were a variety of attributes to take into account for employee performance constructions. Tests were conducted on each concept to ascertain how each empowerment concept related to worker performance.
The Public Procurement Authority of Ghana's central office and its two zonal offices in Kumasi and Takoradi were the study's target populations, but only a sample of 30 respondents was found. The study used a stratified simple random sample and descriptive survey methodology. Questionnaires were administered systematically to get primary data. The Social Science Statistics Software (SPSS) and EXCEL were utilised to analyse the data. The data were descriptively analysed and presented as figures, tables, and percentages. Inferential statistics (correlation) were also utilised to analyse the data. The results show that public sector employees believe empowerment significantly impacts job performance. The concepts of empowerment and employee performance are strongly correlated. Limitations and ideas for additional research were also noted and suggested, along with a discussion of the results' implications.
The study recommended that extensive investigation be conducted into the relationship between empowerment and performance from the perspective of demographic variables, as they have also been shown to impact organisational performance.
