This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, psychological Empowerment, Work Engagement, and Risk-Taking Behavior through the intervening effect of empowering leadership in the health sector in Oman. The study follows a quantitative methodology and employs Smart PLS and SPSS analysis (Hierarchical regression analyses) to analyze data collected from a convenient sample of 322 employees working in different positions in the health sector.
The findings reveal that emotional intelligence directly impacts employees' psychological empowerment, work engagement, and risk-taking behavior. Furthermore, the findings confirmed a strong connection between emotional intelligence and both psychological empowerment and work engagement through empowering leadership. However, they reveal a non-significant mediating effect of empowering leadership on the relationship between emotional intelligence and risk-taking behavior.
This study underscores the important role of leaders in adjusting and improving their employees' experience and motivation and enhancing their self-efficacy at work, especially in applying emotional intelligence by effectively controlling their emotions and positive thinking. It is also recommended that empowered leaders should encourage their employees to take risks and complete tasks creatively and innovatively to achieve high performance and effective results.
