What is Empowerment of Employees? Meaning.
Empowerment of employees is the process of distributing power, decision-making responsibilities, discretion and/or
resources to subordinates, employees or workers.
Nowadays, knowledge-based enterprises are characterized by
a flat hierarchical structures and a multi-skilled workforce.
Managers assume
leadership and coaching tasks and provide employees (knowledge
workers) with the resources and working conditions they need to accomplish the
goals they've agreed to. In brief, managers work for their staff, and not
the reverse. Empowerment is the oil that lubricates this process.
Empowerment can contribute to the performance of
organizations in a number of ways:
-
Motivate (knowledge) workers to work harder.
-
Improve the level or competences of employees.
-
Decrease the need for indirect staff (when direct staff
takes on certain responsibilities previously performed by indirect
staff).
