Abstract
This study aimed for testing the effects of the empowerment in the circumstances of remote management that managers and employees were in separate countries. For this purpose, researchers collected survey data from 79 local teachers in multinational enterprises on English education and performed Structural Equation Modeling. The hypotheses below are revealed as significant. Firstly, empowerment had a positive effect on job satisfaction, but had a negative effect on job stress. Secondly, empowerment had a positive effect on organizational commitment. Thirdly, job satisfaction had a positive effect on organizational commitment. Fourthly, job stress had a negative effect on organizational commitment and job satisfaction mediated the relationship between empowerment and organizational commitment. Finally, job stress mediated the relationship between empowerment and organizational commitment. And the results of this study suggest that the employees' job satisfaction and organizational commitment can be enhanced using empowerment in the remote management system.
