Abstract: This study aimed at identifying the extent of the impact of empowerment on enhancing creativity of employees. The study was conducted on a simple random sample composed of (86) employees in the Social Security Corporation in Jordan. The study adopted four dimensions of empowerment: the sense, ability, self-guided, and impact. For the purposes of testing the hypotheses of the study we used some statistical methods, the most important of which is regression coefficient. The results indicated no significant effect of empowerment in enhancing creativity among workers. The recommendations of the study was the most important, the need to encourage and support the senior management of any new ideas offered by employees and different functional levels, as well as increasing interest in providing empowerment dimensions.
