Abstract
In order to survive and to be efficient in not just controlling the environment pollution but to go for environment protection and to be able to compete globally, today’s leaders of EPS are trying to implement empowerment to enhance the creative potential of their workforce to overcome such challenges.
In this chapter an empowerment model has been developed for the EPS. The model includes four dimensions, namely, empowering management practices, empowering working environment, empowered individuals and empowered/developed EMS. Each dimension consists of several required elements. The proposed model provides suggestions for transferring the concept into operational guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Several models have been developed on empowerment. Some models focus on relational elements, while others focus on psychological.
2. Empowerment will not happen naturally in organizations. The main components of organizations must go through major reforms and changes to push empowerment forward.
3. Concentrating on one of the organization’s components will not create an empowered organization. Only when a multidimensional approach is taken will the organization become empowered.
4. The model presented in this project is intended to serve as a roadmap for EMS. This model combines different aspects found in literature in a manner considered to be appropriate for EPS because it considers to simultaneously and mutually developing all the organization’s components in attempt to capture the empowerment concept.
