The Impact of employer brand on the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement
ENIn recent years, employer brand has been widely addressed as a crucial factor in attracting and retaining the best employees. Research on its impact on organizations can provide a better understanding of the benefits of employer branding in unlocking the potential of employees. Thus, this paper aims to evaluate the impact of employer brand on the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement in Lithuanian companies. The study surveyed 429 employees (from <18 years to >65 years) of Lithuanian companies. The data were collected via an online survey of the respondents and by sending e-mails to the administrators of randomly selected Lithuanian companies requesting to share the survey link with their employees. Descriptive statistics, reliability assessment, ANOVA tests, multiple linear regression, and moderation analysis were used to analyze the collected data. The study found that employer brand directly impacts employee engagement (β = 0.114, p = 0.004). However, employer brand does not have a statistically significant effect on the relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement (p = 0.2224). Based on the results, employees working in Lithuanian companies are more engaged when they perceive their employer brand as positive. In contrast, when psychologically empowered, employees engage in work regardless of their perception of the employer brand. Keywords: employer brand, psychological empowerment, engaged employees, human resource management, Lithuania. [From the publication]
