Amidst Lebanon’s enduring economic and financial crises, this study explores the complexities of empowerment within the Lebanese banking sector. It scrutinizes empowerment dynamics through the lenses of structural, motivational, and contingency theories, exploring how organizational structures, individual motivations, and environmental contingencies intersect to shape empowerment outcomes among banking sector employees. Utilizing a quantitative survey conducted with 200 employees from Lebanon’s top banking institutions, the study reveals significant correlations between structural variables such as job roles, hierarchical arrangements, and organizational support mechanisms, and psychological empowerment components including self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and social support. The findings underscore the importance of cultivating empowering work environments marked by decentralized decision-making, clear role delineation, and supportive organizational climates, particularly amidst economic uncertainty. Offering valuable insights into empowerment dynamics within the Lebanese banking sector, this study presents practical implications for organizational leaders and policymakers seeking to bolster employee engagement, resilience, and organizational effectiveness amidst challenging economic conditions.
Keywords: Empowerment dynamics, organizational behavior, structural ap-proach, motivational approach, contingency theory.
