Abstract

Abstract. Psychological empowerment – the experience of competence, meaning, self-determination and impact at work – has become very popular in organizational research. Meta-analytic results show many positive consequences of psychological empowerment and many different antecedents such as positive leadership, high performance practices, and work design characteristics. However, scarce research is available on how organizational culture influences psychological empowerment. We believe a missing instrument is one reason for the underdevelopment in this field. For this reason, we developed IMPEC (Instrument Measuring Psychological Empowerment Culture) for measuring specific cultural values for psychological empowerment. IMPEC was tested in four studies. In the first study ( n = 208 German employees), the reliability, factor structure, and its relationship with psychological empowerment and affective variables were analyzed. The second study had two waves ( n = 182 German employees) in which the predictive and incremental value of the IMPEC for performance-oriented variables were evaluated. In the third study, the instrument was translated into English and validated in a US sample ( n = 346). Finally, a multi-wave study was conducted in a German setting ( n = 210) to test if the IMPEC could predict critical constructs better than the empowerment climate questionnaire.

组织心理授权文化(IMPEC)测量工具的开发与测试

摘要心理授权——工作中的能力、意义、自我决定和影响的体验——在组织研究中非常流行。元分析结果显示了心理授权的许多积极后果和许多不同的前因，如积极的领导、高绩效实践和工作设计特征。然而，关于组织文化如何影响心理授权的研究却很少。我们认为，缺少一种工具是这一领域发展不足的原因之一。出于这个原因，我们开发了IMPEC(测量心理赋权文化的工具)来测量心理赋权的特定文化价值观。在四项研究中对IMPEC进行了测试。在第一个研究中(n = 208名德国员工)，我们分析了信度、因素结构及其与心理授权和情感变量的关系。第二项研究有两波(n = 182名德国员工)，其中对绩效导向变量的IMPEC的预测值和增量值进行了评估。在第三项研究中，该仪器被翻译成英文，并在美国样本中进行验证(n = 346)。最后，在德国进行了一项多波研究(n = 210)，以测试IMPEC是否能比赋权气候问卷更好地预测关键结构。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
