The present descriptive study investigates the relationship between university teachers ’empowerment and their
mental health in Pakistan. The research is quantitative in nature. Survey method was applied by using a
questionnaire having two subscales for data collection. The study targets the faculty members of 26 public and
private universities in Lahore. Simple descriptive statistics, t-test for independent sample, and Pearson
correlations were used for data analysis. The results indicate a significant association and direct correlation
between both variables. It is seen that low empowerment affects the mental health of university teachers. They
feel depress, restless, low confidence and a decline in their sense of well-being. It has also been revealed that
the mental health of teachers in private sector is affected more adversely in comparison with the public sector
teachers as a consequence of lack of empowerment. It is inferred that quality education depends on intellectual
interactions between teachers and students. These learning communities are possible only when teachers are
fully empowered which leads to their good mental health necessary for the purpose of learning.
