Abstract: Empowerment has emerged as a central concept in contemporary business management, highlighting its ability to improve job performance and promote a more satisfying work environment. This study presents a comprehensive review of the national and international literature on empowerment and its influence on job performance. A positive correlation between employee empowerment and job performance is identified, highlighting the importance of autonomous delegation of responsibility and the ability to make decisions. In addition, the relevance of soft skills, such as effective communication and teamwork, in the successful implementation of empowerment is highlighted. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are highlighted as playing a crucial role in job performance, and the importance of considering both individual and organizational aspects in the implementation of effective empowerment strategies is pointed out. In summary, this study highlights the positive impact of empowerment on job performance and suggests that its proper implementation can lead to greater organizational success and growth
