Abstract
This paper analyses the employee
empowerment practices and measures
the degree of employee empowerment
that exists in Rourkela
Steel Plant (RSP), a unit of SAIL.
The company, like many others, has
been using employee empowerment
as a strategy to increase its
organizational effectiveness. The
dimensions of employee empowerment
on which RSP has been focusing
are: information-sharing,
knowledge development, autonomy
and rewards. The study indicates
that the organization succeeded to
a large extent in its endeavors to
promote ‘workplace spirituality’
and has reaped positive outcomes.
Thus, one can take a sanguine view
about RSP’s efforts towards increasing
the degree of employee
empowerment as a strategy to enhance
the organization’s performance.
