About The Book

Every organization operates in terms of a set of policies and norms which are sometimes laid down while at other times in the form of traditions and conventions. The role stress by an individual is due to change in routine job structure and continued exposure to stressful conditions. Empowerment makes an individual or group to expand his assets and to make purposive choices and to transform those choices into desired action and outcome. In an organization, empowerment is assessed on organizational behaviour, supervision and management, membership and leadership, training and development and goals and responsibilities. Recent advances in organizational work culture and empowerment of employees are widely discussed in it. This book will be useful to organizations, teachers, scholars and other professionals having interest on welfare of employees, women and the poor.
