Summary/Abstract: In this study the psychological empowerment and organizational identification relationship has been examined on the employees of a local government. In this context, the relationship between these two concepts has been examined by a survey of 555 people from the 4,445-person universe of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality. Stratified sampling method has been used. It is proved that there is a positive effect of psychological empowerment on the organizational identification. Moreover, different relationships were found between subhypotheses including demographic and individual characteristics and dependent and independent variables. According to these results, a meaningful and negative relationship was found between the participants' perceptions of psychological empowerment and educational level. Significant and negative relationships were detected between the perception of identification and educational status, and significant and positive relationships with perception of identification and duration of work (seniority). On the other hand, it has found that the perception of identification of married participants was higher than that of single participants.
