Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empowerment is closely related to flexibility and autonomy, which are associated with low formalisation. When the organisation has low formalisation, employees are less constrained by rules and procedures, and they have more opportunities to make decisions and take initiative. This can lead to a greater sense of empowerment and job satisfaction. In contrast, high centralisation and a mechanistic structure tend to limit employees' freedom and discretion, which may result in feelings of powerlessness.
