The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational job embeddedness and
the moderating effects of task interdependence and politics on that relationship. Data were collected from 3 GSM companies in
Turkey. The sample included 913 employees along with their immediate managers. The obtained data from the questionnaires are
analysed through the SPSS statistical packaged software. Moderated hierarchical regression was used to examine the moderating
roles of task interdependence and politics on the empowering leadership and organizational job embeddedness relationship. The
results show that empowering leadership is positively and significantly correlated with employees’ organizational job
embeddedness. In addition, the result of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis supports the moderating effects of task
interdependence and politics with regard to the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational job embeddedness.
