Abstract
The current study purports to establish the linkage between empowering leadership behavior and employee job performance in the banking sector. To test the proposed hypotheses of the study, data have been taken from 168 participants working in various banks in India. Regression analysis showed positive relationship between empowering leadership and job performance. Three factors of empowering leadership, i.e. providing support, enhancing participation, and trust in employees are also positively and significantly related to employee job performance. No relationship has been found of gender, corporate work experience, age of the employee with job performance. The study extends several suggestions regarding leadership to Indian banks.
