Conclusion

This annotated bibliography shows the effect of empowering leadership and affective commitment
on the employees. Though empowering leadership motivates the individuals to handle challenging
roles and accomplish them, it can also lead to mutual conflicts as it challenges them to coordinate.
The article by Huang et al shows that the team gets positively influenced by engaging them in
decision making thus increasing their efficiency. It stresses that a superior who respects his
subordinates gains their trusts and goads them to do well.
Chen et al however contradicts these findings by showing that empowering leadership also results in
mutual conflicts thus demotivating the team members.
