Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central idea of employee empowerment is to delegate power and decision making to lower levels of the organization, allowing employees to feel more in control of their work and able to contribute their ideas and expertise. While employee empowerment may lead to changes in the flow of work and communication channels in the organization, these are secondary outcomes rather than the central goal. Increasing an employee's Johari Window (i.e. their ability to understand their own strengths and weaknesses) may be a positive side effect of empowerment, but again is not the main focus. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
