Relationship between Locus of Control, Resilience and Psychological Empowerment among Corporate Employees in the Private Sector

The contemporary business world operates by constant change and is a whirlwind of tight deadlines, and competitive pressures, characterized by the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) of the modern work environment. Consequently, employees face numerous challenges and uncertainties that impact their well-being and performance, due to which organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of fostering a supportive and empowering work culture that enables employees to thrive and succeed. Against this backdrop, the present study investigates the relationships among locus of control, resilience, and psychological empowerment among corporate employees in the private sector. This research study employed a survey methodology to collect data from 140 corporate employees, aged between 22-40 years. The results of the study indicate that a shift towards internal locus of control is associated with higher levels of psychological empowerment. Additionally, employee resilience was found to be positively associated with psychological empowerment. The study also found that increased employee resilience is linked with an internal locus of control. Lastly, the potential gender differences in work locus of control was also examined. Ultimately, this study aims to inform interventions and strategies that can strengthen employee well-being, reduce turnover, and enhance overall organizational effectiveness in today’s demanding work environment. These findings have implications for human resource management, leadership development, and organizational growth in the corporate sector. Organizations can improve employee well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction, ultimately leading to improved organizational outcomes and success.
