Psychological empowerment may provide more satisfaction towards a job and better productivity towards employees’ work and life. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between psychological empowerment and the quality of work life [QWL] in a government-linked company in Malaysia. Employing a cross-sectional survey research design, 182 employees from a financial sector company were recruited using simple random sampling method. The Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire [Spreitzer, 1995] and Quality of Work Life Questionnaire [Walton, 1980] were used to measure psychological empowerment and the quality of work life [QWL]. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science [SPSS]. Results showed that, the overall level of psychological empowerment is at a high level, while the level of quality of work life [QWL] is at a moderate level. The findings also showed that the relationship between psychological empowerment and the quality of work life has a very weak relationship. It can be concluded that, psychological empowerment is associated to quality of work life among the employees in a Malaysian government-linked company
