Definition

  • “Empowerment is not merely a new buzzword introduced to capture the imagination of current trends in management science. It comprises an innovative approach to working with people and a shift from top-down management styles which have dominated control mechanism and managerial concepts in both theory and practice since the industrial revolution.” (Baruch, 1998).
  • Baruch's model provides an analytical framework for the organizational contexts of empoerment based on two dimensions: "belief in the idea of empowerment" and "fairness" (or honesty).
