The study mainly seeks to investigate the relationship between employee empowerment and organisational effectiveness in some selected public sector enterprises in India. The four dimensions of psychological empowerment, e.g. meaning, competence, self-determination and impact and the seven dimensions of structural empowerment e.g. locus of control, self-esteem, role clarity, autonomy, information and communication, reward system and skills and knowledge were identified as independent variables with organisational effectiveness and its four system variables as the dependent variable. The study is based on a conceptual model which was linked through empowerment outcome which tends to affect organisational effectiveness. A survey instrument in the form of structured questionnaire comprising four constructs was administered on a sample size of 358 (N = 358) employees representing the two Central Public Sector Enterprises in India (CPSEs) e.g. NTPC and NALCO situated in the State of Odisha.
