What does psychological empowerment measure?

• A. The degree to which one influences at work and the meaningfulness of their job
• B. Exit Response
• C. Perceived Organizational Support
• D. System Perspective

Answer: (A)

Psychological empowerment measures the internal sense of control and motivation employees feel at work, especially how meaningful their work is and how much influence they have over what happens on the job. The statement about the degree to which someone influences at work and the meaningfulness of their job directly targets these empowerment judgments, capturing the core aspects of feeling impactful and purposeful in one’s role. Other options refer to different concepts—an exit response is about leaving, perceived organizational support concerns beliefs about how the organization values and supports employees, and a system perspective isn’t a standard empowerment dimension.
