Abstract: This study investigates the impact of healthcare professional empowerment and community health empowerment on healthcare workers' commitment, with a focus on the moderating effects of technological innovation. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from healthcare workers in Ghana through a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that both healthcare professional empowerment and community health empowerment positively affect healthcare workers' commitment. Additionally, technological innovation significantly moderates these relationships, enhancing the positive impact of empowerment on commitment. The results align with Self-Determination Theory, which suggests that technology can improve individuals' sense of competence and autonomy, thereby strengthening their commitment to their roles. These findings are consistent with existing literature and emphasize the value of integrating technological innovations in healthcare settings. Recommendations include investing in digital tools and platforms to support empowerment initiatives and engaging communities through technology. By adopting these strategies, healthcare systems can improve job satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance overall health outcomes.
