Employee Empowerment – A Conceptual Study
Abstract
Employee empowerment is creating a working environment where an employee is allowed to make his own decisions in specific work-related situations. The decisions can be big or small, and the size and effect of the decision is up to the employer. The logic behind employee empowerment is to increase the employee's responsibility, to build employee morale and to improve the quality of your employee's work life. Ideally, when an employee feels vested in an organization, he will be more productive, loyal and more confident1.
This paper aims to define employee empowerment, identify the ways to create employee empowerment, benefits and disadvantages of employee empowerment and various empirical studies related with employee empowerment in organizations.
