Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a critical aspect of business today is the need to empower employees, thereby creating a healthier business from within filled with capable and self-relying team members.
The writer points out that in order to stay competitive with today's changing business world, many companies have decided to transition from an authoritarianism structure to an empowerment structure. The writer then studies methods in which it is possible to empower employees and looks at why these methods are critical for company growth and employee development. The writer concludes that the traditional idea of centralized management is fading; thus, with innovation, a decentralized leadership scheme is more likely to be practiced in today's modern businesses.

Concluding Thoughts and Recommendations:
From the Paper
"This changing trend is where the concept of empowerment emerged."
"Empowerment is defined by the delegation of autonomy to employees and allowing them to have the responsibility and authority of completing the task at hand. This theory does not indicate an employee's total control over production, but it does provide them with the autonomy to make certain needed decisions. They are able to offer individual ideas and work more collectively in the planning process. Empowerment has moved beyond the principle of delegation, instead it redistributes power and decision making. This theory moves past the controls that once existed and instead allows responsibility and accountability."

Abstract
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. "

Abstract
This paper explains that employee empowerment is defined as a concept by which employees and the groups in which they work feel that they have a voice and influence in decisions that are made by those above them. The author examines organizational structure that support and encourage employee empowerment. The paper stresses that the team approach is an essential element to all leadership application because it allows for the development of perceptual employee empowerment. The author applies systems theory and behaviorism to this personnel management issue.
From the Paper
"A team model may be the best ideological structure, as individuals will feel empowered to help the team by streamlining production through their own inside knowledge of the system, how it works and how it can be tweaked to produce better results. Those who have been traditionally seen as middle management will be eliminated, either through leveling or elimination, and this may be the most difficult of the transition, as such individuals may feel ownership to their previous authority, and have a difficult time with the idea or reality of demotion."

Abstract
This paper looks at why the empowerment of nurses will benefit not only the nurses, but the health care industry and what can be done to promote this empowerment. Specifically, the paper looks at the measures and changes that must be made in jobs, organizational styles, and workplace protocols to lead to empowerment.
From the Paper
"Exceedingly rapid technological progress has resulted in a change in our human resources and human activities environment. There have of course been changes within the healthcare environment for both licensed and unlicensed providers of care. These changes have required most workers to do more with less and place a greater emphasis on teamwork with independent decision making for each worker involved, no matter what their scope (Barker, 1990). All healthcare delivery systems are seeing dramatic changes in their manning and their organizational ladders. In order for all these changes to be managed effectively without any change in provision of quality healthcare, leaders and managers must understand how these changes and stresses affect workers? attitudes. The issues of leadership style and work related empowerment have become catch words but actually represent very important ideas (Douglas, 1995). That is fundamentally positive, referring to solutions rather than to problems and is dynamic in nature, power is taken over and given away, power is shared. Power is usually associated with a negative connotation ? there is an association with hierarchy, authoritarianism, and generally with the restriction of a person?s freedom of action. Empowerment is an abstract concept. It is especially important as personnel resources are not being increased but rather decreased. This represents a change in the delivery of care and will require a significant transition in the nurse-manager?s leadership style to help subordinates accept the adjustment in work and their new levels of productivity."

Abstract
This paper addresses the concept that: "Tenants' empowerment is about attitudes, not structures." This is achieved through investigating the relationship that a tenant can have with their landlord in terms of their connection with the property, and the connection that the tenants can develop with their landlords. Through investigating these issues, it is demonstrated that tenants can achieve a more substantial degree of empowerment through their attitudes rather than their actual physical rights as tenants.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The benefits provided to teachers through the teacher empowerment are inclusive of increases in teacher job performance, improved morale of teachers, increased knowledge of subject matter and pedagogy, and finally resulting higher motivation among students as well as higher achievement. As a result, teachers, and ultimately, their students and their schools, could potentially receive the full benefits of teacher empowerment if principals hone their focus on the appropriate leadership behaviors and policies to effectively maximize teacher empowerment (Keiser & Shen, 2000:115). Short and Rinehart (1993) "Teacher empowerment and school climate" p.592 state that, "Teacher empowerment relates to greater organizational effectiveness.""

Abstract
?Horse-Dealer?s Daughter? illustrates the renewed strength that Mabel creates after she had been deprived for a long time of her right to make her own decisions, and be independent from her patriarchal family. Elizabeth of ?Odor of Chrysanthemums? also experienced women empowerment at the initial part of the story, but loses this as she realizes that her proud character was the reason why her marriage became unhappy and did not work out until her husband?s death. The themes of love and women empowerment are discussed in context with the two short stories by D. H Lawrence, including an analysis of how the character?s portrayal illustrates these themes.
From the Paper
"A ?The Horse Dealer?s Daughter? show how Mabel, the protagonist, was illustrated as a woman deprived of a good life and is considered by her brothers and her society as a functional and self-reliant individual. The author?s description of Mabel illustrates how she is portrayed by her society: ?Mabel had no associates of her own sex? She regularly went to church, she attended to her father. She had suffered badly during the period of poverty. Now, for Mabel, the end had come. She would follow her own way just the same. She would always hold the keys of her own situation.? Lawrence?s use of Mabel?s character as a decisive and functional female is actually the external appearance of what Mabel wants to display in public; in reality, she is a woman beaten down by the pressures and limited opportunities society and her family had given her. Her family?s descent to poverty and the constant reprimanding of her brothers about her made her decide the ?keys of her own situation? through committing suicide."

The Empowerment of Nurses, 2008.
An argument for the increased autonomy and empowerment of nurses.
713 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the values of promoting the empowerment of nurses. It argues that, given greater autonomy in decision-making, nurses will feel more professional satisfaction and commitment, leading to higher morale and efficiency in the work place. It also claims that, when nurses are given a higher degree of informal power, the results are observed in greater accountability, productivity, and work effectiveness. Furthermore, this has an impact on collegiality since stronger alliances with peers are established.
From the Paper
"The primary moral principle invariably is respect for persons; from that main principle emerge other principles such as autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, confidentiality, fidelity, veracity, and justice (ANA, 2001). Respect for the inherent dignity and worth of every patient is the core principle for nursing practice (ANA, 2001). The ANA's (1995) belief that the person is holistic and possesses an inherent unity, which must be contextually and culturally defined, is correlated with that principle. Autonomy for nurses must be intrinsic and a personal choice; if it is the result of extrinsic influences, autonomy is extremely restricted. Intrinsic autonomy is only possible in nursing environments where staff can exert control. Accountability depends on the degree of autonomy that can be exercised as well as the extent to which nurses are empowered (Laschinger & Wong, 1999)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Empowerment is a process of unleashing the human potential and enhancing the human ability to effect and maintain societal growth (Rubino 2007). It has gained emphasis in these times of unprecedented change and crises encountered in the face of limited resources. Major transitions in society have produced an upheaval and a feeling of uncertainty. People need to define their jobs, businesses and even the directions they are taking in life. This transition incurs overwhelming change, accompanied by a sense of loss and uncertainty. This is particularly true to those who have not found their place in which to grow and fulfill their perceived role."

Self-Empowerment in Nursing, 2008.
This paper discusses self-empowerment in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that self-empowerment, facilitated by the nurse as teacher is the most hopeful model for the treatment of childhood obesity and early onset cases of type II diabetes. The writer maintains that, although clinical outcomes promoting these strategies do not show the conclusive results in mitigating the effects of diabetes, or in reducing patient body mass indexes in the long run as weight-loss surgery, nurses must try to create effective self-directed counseling programs that offer less risky prescriptions than surgery for the young. The writer concludes that nurses today must acknowledge their unique role in treating lifestyle ailments, as well as remember that their clinical practice cannot heal all of society nor completely control an environment that constantly facilitates the patient's predicament.
From the Paper
"The current medical literature stresses the need for patient empowerment for diabetics and pre-diabetics of all ages. When the ailment typically occurred in only older adults, insulin therapy was thought to be the first recourse of treatment. However, in younger adults and children the individual has greater power to reverse or mitigate the symptoms of the illness. Today's treatment protocols call for a combination of diet, exercise, and medications when treating diabetics. The aim is to maintain blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible through healthy diet and exercise, although when diet and exercise do not provide adequate control of blood glucose, medications may be added to the treatment plan."

Abstract
This paper looks at the way in which women have achieved empowerment through education as shown through the works of Austen, Bronte and Wollstonecraft. It looks at their personal experiences as well as the experiences of women in their works.
From the paper:
"It should not surprise us that Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Mary Wollstonecraft should in their works emphasize the importance of education to the women of their own generation. Each of these women themselves had personal experience with the ways in which education had widened their own horizons. And each also had knowledge of women who had not received any education and thus had the already circumscribed role allotted to women made even smaller. These three women understood from the measure of their own lives that what freedom existed for women, and what power was available to women, would come through education."

»

Abstract
In this paper, the writer expresses her belief that the essence of teaching has nothing to do with standardized curricula but has everything to do with helping children to become the best human beings they can possibly be. The writer explains her sources of inspiration in developing her curriculum ideas and offers concrete examples of how she would hope to achieve her ideals in her teaching practice.
From the Paper
"If I was taking up a position in a local school in BC, I would be focused on making sure that my teaching addressed what I believe to be the essence of teaching. The essence of teaching, in my opinion, has nothing to do with standardized curricula. Although one has to factor these into one's thinking as a teacher, they do not address the essence of teaching. The essence of teaching has more to do with helping children to become the best human beings they can possibly be. This has to do with their ability to do the best they can in this society, with the attributes they have been given. What I mean by this will become clearer as I give concrete examples of how I would hope to achieve this goal in my teaching practice."

Abstract
These topics, which first developed in parallel with the emergence of ancient Greek society, have played a determining role in shaping the development of subsequent western civilization and, indeed, continue to have an important influence on contemporary society. Although conceptually distinct, these themes are, as we shall see, closely related to each other. They are, (a) the adoption of reason and a scientific attitude to explain the natural world and the individuals it contains; (b) the view that humans can impose order on the world around them; (c) the emergence of the ideals of democracy and freedom.
