It is noteworthy that not all factors of organisational empowerment have an impact
on employee attitudes. Our factor analysis produced a four-factor structure of
organisational empowerment. Out of the four factors, only “authority granting” was
positively associated with all three attitudes, i.e. job satisfaction, affective commitment
and psychological empowerment. Interestingly “information sharing” (Factor 3) was
found to be negatively associated with psychological empowerment. This indicates
that employees should not be overwhelmed with information. The most important
information in the enhancement of psychological empowerment relates to information
on future plans of the organisation and goal implementation means, rewards and
company clients which falls under “authority granting” (Factor 1).
