The research sample consisted of (556) male and female teachers in Al-Azhar. The research tools included: a psychological empowerment scale, an emotional creativity scale, and a decision-making style scale. The researcher used the descriptive method to process the results and validate the hypotheses, the researcher used the correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression, and ANOVA analyses. The results show that there are a positive and statistically significant relationship between psychological empowerment (the dimensions and the overall degree) and both emotional creativity (the dimensions and the overall degree) and decision-making styles (rational, intuitive, and spontaneous), but there is a negative and statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of psychological empowerment (impact, independence and the total degree) and decision-making styles (avoidant and dependent). There are also a negative and non-statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of psychological empowerment (efficiency and meaning) and decision-making styles (avoidant and dependent) among teachers of Al-Azhar. The results also indicated that there are statistically significant differences in psychological empowerment due to gender in favor of males; there are statistically significant differences in psychological empowerment due to experience in favor of the most experienced; there are statistically significant differences in emotional creativity due to gender in favor of females; there are statistically significant differences in emotional creativity due to experience in favor of the most experienced; there are statistically significant differences in decision-making styles due to gender in favor of males in the (rational and spontaneous) styles, and in favor of females in the (avoidant and dependent) styles; there are no statistically significant differences due to gender in the (intuitive) style; there are statistically significant differences due to the experience in benefit of the most experienced in the (rational, intuitive and spontaneous) styles, and in benefit of the least experienced in the (avoidant and dependent) styles. The research results also indicated that the psychological empowerment dimensions contribute in predicting both emotional creativity and decision-making styles. (Published Abstract)
