The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between participative decision-making, psychological empowerment and job performance among engineers in the Electrical and Electronic (E&E) manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The study used a structured survey questionnaire to collect data from both managers and engineers as the study utilized matched-pair analysis. Human Resource (HR) managers from 73 manufacturing firms agreed to cooperate in the data collection process. The researchers were able to collect 173 matched responses from both managers and engineers. For the purpose of data analysis, the study used SEM-PLS method to analyse the direct and indirect effect between the variables. The results indicated that all the direct effects were significant and only the perceived meaning dimension of psychological empowerment was not significant as a mediator. The practical implication of participative decision-making and psychological empowerment on job performance leads employees to learn new skills, obtain information, help one another, enhance social contact, and fulfill the obligation.
