Abstract: The objective of this work was to study the influence of Managerial Empowerment on the enforcement of problem solving and decision-making skills. To test a pertinent set of proposed hypotheses, empirical data were collected from 82 individuals among the administrative employees at Abu Dhabi University via a questionnaire survey. The results assure that the level of administrative empowerment implementation at Abu Dhabi University was average while the elements and dimensions of problem solving and decision-making skills studied were relatively high. At the same time, there was globally a moderate impact of the dimensions of administrative empowerment on enhancing problem solving and decision-making skills among employees of Abu Dhabi University. Taking these results into consideration can be crucial to better understanding the use of empowerment strategy to enhance employees’ managerial skills.
