Abstract
The paper aims to find out the relationship
between psychological empowerment
and innovative output
among women employees in the
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Maths) fields. Data was
collected from among 216 women
employees of STEM fields in select
cities employing an experimental
survey. The data was analyzed and
the results showed that psychological
empowerment has a positive effect
on innovative output. Organizations
can continue to engage in
psychological empowerment initiatives
for employees, fostering a positive
work atmosphere that enables
individuals to use their leadership
talents to encourage people to pursue
careers in STEM fields. This research
employs Value Percept Theory
and Social Exchange Theory to explain
psychological empowerment in
India’s STEM industry.
