Abstract

While empowerment has been actively practised, the exact meaning of 'empowerment' or 'psychological empowerment' does not seem to be well considered. We tried to make the meaning of empowerment clear by distinguishing it from similar words like authority delegation, motivation, self-efficacy, job enrichment, employee ownership, autonomy, self-determination, self-management, self-control, self-influence, self-leadership, high-involvement and participative management. Based on our reasoning, we concluded that empowerment is not just a fad, but really a unique concept representing a new managerial approach and that the uniqueness denies substitution with any of the above nouns.

赋权真的是一个新概念吗

虽然赋权得到了积极的实践，但“赋权”或“心理赋权”的确切含义似乎并没有得到很好的考虑。我们试图通过将授权与类似的词语区分开来，例如授权、动机、自我效能、工作充实、员工所有权、自治、自决、自我管理、自我控制、自我影响、自我领导、高度参与和参与式管理，从而明确授权的含义。根据我们的推理，我们得出结论，授权不仅仅是一种时尚，而是一种独特的概念，代表了一种新的管理方法，这种独特性否认了上述任何名词的替代。
