Empowerment and Organizational Management

Paper Summary:

The objective of this paper is to show how employee empowerment affects organizations. Empowerment refers to the act of delegating authority along with the responsibility for accomplishing given tasks. It looks at how it is unreasonable to expect an employee to complete a task successfully unless that employee was given the authority to carry it out and how empowerment gives employees the feeling of belonging, allowing them to feel pride in their work and take ownership of tasks that may otherwise be mundane.

From the Paper:

"The problems of achieving goals in business arise out of variation. The decrease in sales compared to the previous year, excessive costs when compared to the budget, and deviation of a product from the specified target are a few examples. The variation in a given outcome can come from hundreds if not thousands of causes. However, as "the grandfather of total quality management" Walter Shewhart stated, it will take several lifetimes to study all the causes that affect outcome. But if there is a way to separate the significant causes from the insignificant, it may be a reasonably good start. "
