The results showed that: First, performance feedback had a positive impact on work engagement and psychological empowerment. Second, the impact of performance feedback on work engagement was mediated by two dimensions of psychological empowerment, meaning of work and autonomy. Performance feedback helped employees get a sense of meaning, enhanced their sense of autonomy and thus increased work engagement.
