Abstract: This paper analyses the empowerment of remotely working employees in the case of Lithuanian companies. Research methods were scientific literature review and a quantitative method of questionnaire survey. It revealed that an employee is psychologically empowered when working remotely when they feel the meaning, enthusiasm, and competency related to the job, while structural empowerment manifests itself as the opportunities, information, resources, and support that exist in the organization and are available to the employee. The manifestation of remote work empowerment is sufficient in all groups of both psychological and structural empowerment dimensions. The results for the fully and hybrid remotely working employees’ empowerment differed little. The study found that all the dimensions of remote work are interlinked, so that only when they are sufficiently fulfilled in corpore , could a higher manifestation of employee empowerment be achieved.
