Abstract :

The identification and application of the effective factors for improving the efficiency of organization’s operations are the most important aspects of each organization. Developmental approaches in human resource management are a typical example of these factors which clearly indicate the importance of human resource as the organization’s main investment and a vital competitive factor. The present research aimed to investigate the effective factors in employee empowerment that may play significant roles in the development of human resource management. Spreitzer’s model was employed to evaluate psychological empowerment in which the attitudes and feelings of employees related to their endowments. Through using this approach, the effective factors in creating of empowerment feeling in employees were recognized as three levels of individual, group and organization. Consequently, an appropriate model can be proposed in order to apply in further research. For this purpose, a descriptive- correlative method was used to determine the effective factors. Also, multiple regression method was conducted to measure the influence of these factors. The research was performed in National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company- Tehran Region. By using the final obtained results, the priority of each factor was  determined in the statistical community and subsequently a local model was established in order to describe the influence of effective factors on the creation of the psychological empowerment feeling in employees of this company at three levels of individual, group and organization.
