An Empirical Study on Strategy and Philosophy of Employee Empowerment

Abstract

Employee empowerment is a strategy as well as philosophy that motivate employees to work and take decisions about their jobs. Employee Empowerment helps people to shoulder their responsibility and work with complete freedom and result in most efficient manner. It gives an authority to make decisions on the spot to resolve problems and. Empowerment occurs when employees are involved and participated with adequately trained, provided with all the relevant information and tools, and are fairly rewarded. Employee empowerment is effective if it's not taken as overburdened or distress or we can say that organizations should set a level of empowerment which will enhance the current efficiency of handling pressure. Empowerment includes supervisors and employees working together to establish apparent goals and opportunity within decided upon boundaries.

 All these statement reflects the image of empowerment but actual meaning of empowerment is different. We realized that if empowerment is not implemented carefully then it becomes a failure. We have to study the all aspects and also the reasons of failure and we found that proper analysis will help to overcome this problem. Here we have done empirical study to find the strategies of empowerment, we compared the same with the philosophical meaning of empowerment and prepared some principles for implementation of empowerment. We can also call it as scientific methods of implementation of empowerment.
