Motivating Success: A Study of Employee Empowerment's Link to Customer Satisfaction and Sales Performance

Abstract

Empowering employees is a key factor in organizational success, as it boosts motivation and improves individual performance. The aim of this paper is to determine the link between employee empowerment and customer satisfaction as well as sales performance. Sixty (N = 60) employees of a renowned insurance company in Serbia completed two surveys. Data were collected through the use of surveys digitally delivered to participants. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The findings of this study show a positive relationship between employee empowerment and customer satisfaction. Empowered employees demonstrate a greater sense of ownership and responsibility, leading to improved customer interactions and increased satisfaction levels. The results highlight the key role of employee empowerment in achieving customer satisfaction and sales performance. This study provides valuable insights for managers and decision-makers who want to implement effective empowerment strategies that bring positive results for both employees and the organization as a whole.
