Abstract As retention continue to become one of the challenging issues in the hospitality industry, the need to understand the work behavior of employees becomes very useful to hospitality organizations. There have been studies that emphasized the contribution and relationship of employee commitment to turnover intentions of the employees. This study focused on analyzing psychological aspects of empowerment, rather than on specific empowerment initiatives of the organization, in relation to organizational commitment. Data analysis showed that employee meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact were positively related to organizational commitment. Impact and meaning dimensions were significant predictors of employee organizational commitment.
