Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
In this study, psychological empowerment is a positive change in the psychological dimensions of PWPK members acquired after joining the Community Based Organisation (CBO) such as self-efficacy, self-esteem and proactive behaviour. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the relationship between the level of participation (decision making, implementation and received benefits) with the psychological empowerment among PWPK members in Johor. A total of 366 members from 60 PWPK groups were selected as respondents via cluster multistage sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire and were analysed using the SPSS’ Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings indicated that all three levels of participation have a moderate relationship with psychological empowerment. Therefore, to ensure that PWPK functions as a medium of empowerment, the level of active participation needs to be expanded.
