Publisher's Synopsis
Psychological empowerment is described by scholars as the ability to gain awareness of dominant ideologies and discovering one's identity within to independently determine individual preferences. The ideology is about an individual's ability to develop trust in the ability to act confidently to access and influence decision-making. With that in mind, the author presents psychological empowerment as an intrinsic motivational state in which an individual motivates him or herself because of the sense of relationship between individual commitment and personal values. This book examines the psychological empowerment imperatives and looks into how the future of organizations can be shaped by understanding the concept of individual psychological empowerment. It examines psychological empowerment as a motivational construct - an intrinsic need for self-determination. It also examines it as a dream and purpose of an individual and how the organization may hamper or promote an individual's dreams and help realize a person's purpose.
