Factors Affecting Administrative Empowerment

Abstract

Administrative empowerment, a set of formal policies to reinforce the formal empowerment structure for those of lower entity, has received less attention than the generic idea of a more organic management style. In other words, administrative empowerment is defined as a rational delineation for the distribution of decision-making power at work using the hierarchy as a basis for distributing this power. It aims to facilitate instead of preventing; to reinforce, instead of reducing, effective action; to accept and use instead of refusing and inhibiting creative, fresh, and participated thought. Due to the conceptual vacuum about what administrative empowerment really is, practitioners mix the ideas of empowerment with other supposedly administrative solutions, such as job enlargement, partici[1]pation or leaner organizational structure. The knowledge obtained in the investigation can constitute an important source of subsidies for specialists and researchers to try to increase organizational efficiency through greater delegation of responsibilities, thus promoting quality, creating satisfaction, and increasing worker motivation.
