| Tiivistelmä: | A cognitive model of empowerment is presented. Empowerment is defined as increased task motivation. The model identifies four cognitions (task assessments) as the basis of worker empowerment: sense of impact; competence; meaningfulness; and choice. Adopting an interpretive perspective, the model can be used to describe cognitive processes through which workers reach conclusions. Central to these processes there are workers' interpretive styles and global beliefs. Both preliminary evidence for the model and general implications for research are discussed. |
