Abstract
The purpose of this study was to
construct an employee empowerment
scale in the Indian context.
Both qualitative and quantitative
data were collected from the respondents
belonging to public and private
sector managers. Techniques
like exploratory factor analysis and
confirmatory factor analysis were
used to validate the dimensions of
employee empowerment. Four major
dimensions viz. control, seamless
communication, intrinsic motivation
and support were derived from a 19-
item scale. The results of the study
emphasize on the importance of empowering
employees which leads to
better engagement, heightened motivation,
increased commitment and
less turnover intentions. Treasured
employees who are the right ones to
make value for the business and customers
are the empowered employees.
