The current study aimed to analyze the impact of strategic management in the General Directorate of Electricity in Erbil Province on employee empowerment, including its dimensions (delegation of authority, participation in decision-making, psychological empowerment, work environment, and participation in teams). The study addressed a specific problem within its general framework, which raised questions about the relationship, impact, and variation between two main variables: the independent variable (strategic management) and the dependent variable (empowerment). To achieve this purpose, a theoretical framework was designed, including five main hypotheses (1. Testing the relationship hypothesis, 2. Analyzing the impact between study variables, 3. Testing the variation hypothesis, 4. Testing the differences hypothesis). To ensure the validity of these hypotheses, multiple tests were conducted, and a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool in the study. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach, describing the main and sub-variables and analyzing the relationships and impact between the variables.The study population comprised the General Directorate of Electricity in Erbil city, including nine directorates and their affiliated departments, with a total of 198 electrical engineers. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed to the research participants, and 131 valid questionnaires were collected for analysis. The hypotheses were tested using various statistical analyses through the SPSS software version 22.
The study resulted in several key findings, including the discovery of significant positive relationships between the impact of strategic management and employee empowerment at both the overall and partial levels. This confirms the utility of strategic management in the researched directorates and its contribution to employee empowerment. The study also revealed a positive impact of strategic management on empowerment, supported by significant indicators at the overall level. Furthermore, the regression results indicated that each dimension of empowerment (delegation of authority, participation in decision-making, psychological empowerment, work environment, and participation in teams) contributed to this impact.
Based on the findings, the study proposes several important recommendations, including the need to enhance and activate the role of employees and involve them in all directorate activities, utilizing their abilities for the directorate's benefit, and leveraging their accumulated experiences in building future strategies and setting strategic goals.
