Our hypotheses were tested using three different sets of cross-sectional data (N=237, N=334, and N=182) . Results indicated across the three samples that psychological empowerment mediates the positive relationship between perceived organizational support and employee psychological well-being. Implications for organizational support and psychological empowerment literatures are discussed.  \nKeywords: employees’ well-being, perceived organizational support, psychological empowerment  \nA significant body of research accumulated over the past three  \ndecades suggests that perceived organizational support (POS), defined as employees’ beliefs that their organization cares about their well-being and values their contributions, is positively related to indicators of employee psychological well-being at work such as increased levels of job satisfaction, reduced employees’emotional exhaustion, or stress (eg, Ref1–3) . Nevertheless, the underlying processes through which POS leads to a greater psychological well-being has not been sufficiently developed at the empirical level.2,4 Indeed, according to several scholars such as Baran et al,4 there is a clear need for more research on the underlying processes through which POS leads to a better psychological well-being. A full understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between POS and employee psychological well-being is still lacking. To fill this gap and further develop organizational support theory (eg, Ref1,2,5), the present research examines whether employees’ psychological empowerment, defined asa motivational construct manifested through four cognitions, namely meaning, competence, self-determination and impact, might act as an underlying process through which POS fosters employee psychological well-being. We focused here on a broad definition of psychological well-being, which goes beyond the realm of work and refers to ‘‘an affective judgement regarding the events that occur in people’s lives’’ (Van Horn et al, p. 365) such as moods, emotions, and fulfillment (see Diener et al) .  \nBy examining the relationships between POS, psychological empowerment, and psychological well-being, this research adds to the literature in several ways. First, to our knowledge, this research isone of the few studies examining the relationship between POS and psychological empowerment (eg, Chiang and Hsieh8) . It therefore  \nFrom the Universit´e catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.  \nClinical significance: Some conclusions can be made from this research notably in how to promote workers’ well-being. First, based on study’ findings, we suggest that workers’psychological empowerment helps them to experience abetter well-being. Second, it can be proposed ways to enhance employees’psychological empowerment such as by fostering POS.  \nThere is no funding for this work.  \nConflicts of interest: None declared.  \nAddress correspondence to: Ga¨etane Caesens, PhD, Universit´e catholique de Louvain, Place Cardinal Mercier, 10, L3.05.01, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium ([gaetane.caesens@uclouvain.be](gaetane.caesens@uclouvain.be)).  \nCopyright 􀀂 2020 American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine  \nDOI: 10.1097/JOM.0000000000001889  \nadds to the literature on psychological empowerment (eg, Spreitzer9) by examining and explaining how POS is related to the core components of employees’ intrinsic motivation and is thus a driver of employees’ empowerment.
