Empowerment has become a widely use

Empowerment has become a widely used word within the
organizational science. At this early stage of its usage, however,
empowerment has no agreed upon definition. Rather, the term has
been used, often loosely, to capture a family of somewhat related
meanings. For example, the word has been used to describe a
variety of specific interventions, as well as the presumed effects of
those interventions on workers.
