Abstract: This article seeks to investigate the mediating effect of thriving at work between perceived empowering leadership behavior and employee performance. The proposed hypotheses were tested with structure equation modeling (SEM) techniques via AMOS 21. The data was collected from the employees of the Big Four bank branches in Shanghai; thus, future research is encouraged to collect data from different respondents and sectors. The results of this study indicated that empowering leadership behavior plays a vital role in employees thriving at work and thus, in turn, influenced their performances. Also, employee thriving at work mediates the relationship of empowering leadership and employee performance. The findings, however, suggested that organization should empower their employees to enhance their thriving attitude towards work and help to improve performance outcomes. The present study was one of the few attempts that has revealed the mediating effects of employees thriving at work between perceived empowerment behavior and employee performance.
