Abstract
Women Employee empowerment is an act of enabling or authorizing an individual to
think, behave, take action, and control work and decision-making in autonomous ways.
However, in order to make women employee productive, first of all, their training and
development, participation in decision making process, access to information as well
as reward system and intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction should be understood,
relationships among these aspects should be examined and then necessary interventions
should be taken. Against this backdrop, this study, first, aims to identify the status of
women employee empowerment, intrinsic job satisfaction and extrinsic job satisfaction
and then examine the relationships among women employee empowerment, intrinsic
job satisfaction and extrinsic job satisfaction in the context of Nepalese Commercial
banks.
This study uses questionnaire survey method by taking a sample of 250 women
employee comprising five banks in Nepalese Commercial banks in Kathmandu valley.
Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, standard multiple regression analysis and
one-way ANOVA have been used to analyze the collected data.
Results show that there is a significant positive relationship between women employee
empowerment and intrinsic job satisfaction as well as extrinsic job satisfaction. The
findings of this study imply that the respondents have provided consistent data on the
relationship between women employee empowerment and job satisfaction because it is
comparatively important to them and is relevant in the Nepalese Commercial banks.
Thus, the status of women employee empowerment, from the perspectives of the
women employees is satisfactory in the case of Nepalese Commercial banks. Finally,
the study has implications on to empower the women employee and enhancing the
capacity and skills of the women employees working in the Nepalese Commercial
banks for promoting their knowledge, attitude, and performances. Future researchers
may employ multi-informant research design to avoid potential bias, increase the
sample size, apply different statistical tools, use additional demographic variables and
finally, they may undertake similar studies in the different context.
