Systematic Review of Employee Empowerment

Empowerment is the need of time. It provides both the strategic advantage companies are seeking & the opportunity people are seeking. It demands involvement of team members as business partners and writes the story of Companies success or failure. Leaders who empower teammates are placing additional responsibility on team members. For this reason employee empowerment has increasingly been attracting the attention of researchers & professionals. The objective of this paper is to present the result or main gaps from a systematic review of literature on the subject of employee empowerment. We have adapted the method used in Lage Junior and Godinho Filho (2010), Jabour (2013) and Seuring (2013). The method applied allowed us to identify existing gaps in the literature such as more studies should be conducted on relationship between employee empowerment and employee engagement in India.
