The aim of the study is to examine whether job satisfaction mediates and strengthens the relationship between administrative empowerment and organizational commitment among academic staff in Higher Education - Palestinian universities. A questionnaire was implemented during the data collection process. The study sample consisted of academic staff in Higher Education. Two hundred eighty-seven academic staff from seven different universities participated in the study. Data analysis involved calculating descriptive statistics, t-test, (ANOVA) test, correlation, and regression analysis. The results of the study indicated that administrative empowerment, Organizational commitment, and job satisfaction were statistically significant; moreover, it was found that administrative empowerment through job satisfaction impacts Organizational commitment. Management of universities should appreciate these results as good empowerment practices can increase employee job satisfaction.
