  The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between skills and competencies of the application of Information and Communications Technology and psychological empowerment. This study was applied in terms of the purpose and correlational in terms of the method. The population was all employees with associate degree and higher in Administration of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism in Isfahan, the number of whom was 165 in 2014. Among these subjects, 103 subjects were selected as the sample by stratified sampling using Cochran formula. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire of skills and qualifications of the application of Information Technology and Communications with reliability 0.85 and Spritzer psychological empowerment questionnaire (1996) with reliability 0.81 were used. Data analysis was performed with the help of inferential statistical methods including Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate analysis of variance through software SPSS. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between skills and qualifications of the application of Information and Communications Technology and psychological empowerment of employees (P<0.01, r=0.269). Also, a significant relationship was found between general skills and psychological empowerment (P<0.05, r=0.247), between specialized skills and psychological empowerment (P<0.05, r=0.195), between cognitive competencies and psychological empowerment (P<0.01, r=0.283), between functional competencies and psychological empowerment (P<0.05, r=0.253). But, no significant relationship was found between emotional competencies and psychological empowerment (P<0.05, r=0.052). Manuscript profile
