Empowerment, which has been described as both a means
of effecting higher and more efficient quality work outputs
and a means of facilitating greater freedom in the workplace
combines elements of philosophy, psychology, and management
theory. The perceptions of the present empowerment level of
3500 employees of a division of a major corporation were
analyzed using data from an empowerment survey. The results
were examined using correlational and factorial measures to
test the structure of the survey. ANOVA and pair-wise
comparisons were used to examine group differences on five
subscales of the survey based on employee level in the
organization. Significant differences were found in almost
all categories. Rank order for the three levels differed
from previous findings, perhaps due to empowerment thrusts.
