One important factor in continuity of any organization is human resources that are considered by organizations' managers. Employee engagement and commitment are major success factors for the organizations. Empowerment heightens employees’ sense of personal control and motivates them to engage in work, which in turn results in positive managerial and organizational outcomes. Objective: To identify the relationship between empowerment and job commitment among nursing educators. Setting: The study was carried out at faculty of nursing in El-Minia University. Subjects: The study subjects included a total number of 80 nursing educators. Tool: Empowerment and Job Commitment Questionnaire was used to collect the necessary data. Results: A statistically significant positive weak correlation between empowerment and job commitment of the studied educators was revealed. Where, the studied educators had moderate level of empowerment and high level of job commitment. Conclusion: It can be concluded that self-determination was the highest ranked psychological empowerment dimension and workplace culture was the highest ranked structural empowerment dimension. Recommendations: It was recommended to develop trust, fairness, and better communication to nursing educators through good team working, respect for the roles and contributions of others.
