Abstract: The subject of the empowerment belong to the current extremely utilitarian issues considered on the basis of management theory and practice. The article has an epistemological character. Its aim is to systematize the knowledge of the empowerment, including measures possible to be used in determining the level of empowerment in the organisation. The concept of empowerment, presented in this chapter, constitutes, in the author’s opinion, a cognitively interesting and utilitarian proposal for a wider look at the possibility of activating human potential and transforming it into measurable results, expected by the employer. It is, simultaneously, a way to raise the level of employees satisfaction with their work. With the sense of agency and possibility of continuous development, employees become more involved in their daily tasks, are motivated to creative behaviours and shape their professional identity.
