In the 21st century’s turbulent organizational landscape, employers are reliant upon
employees to be creative, autonomous, and decision makers. Empowerment studies have shown
that empowered employees meet this requirement. The implication of this study is that overall
empowerment in organizations may be related to the servant leader behaviors exhibited by their
immediate supervisors, especially in the areas of access to information, support, resources, and
formal power. Therefore, perceptions of empowerment may be enhanced by encouraging
servant leadership behaviors through training or learning activities that aid leaders in becoming
servant leaders.
