A predictive, nonexperimental design was used to test Kanter's work empowerment theory in a random sample of 412 staff nurses selected from the professional registry list of a central Canadian province. Kanter argues that work environments that provide access to information, support, resources, and opportunity to learn and develop are empowering and influence employee work attitudes, productivity, and organizational effectiveness. Test results suggest that fostering environments that enhance perceptions of empowerment will have positive effects on organizational members and increase organizational effectiveness.
采用了一种预测性的非实验设计，以对从加拿大中部一个省份的专业注册名单中随机抽取的412名护士进行测试，检验坎特的工作赋权理论。坎特认为，能提供信息获取、支持、资源以及学习和发展机会的工作环境具有赋权作用，并会影响员工的工作态度、生产力和组织效能。测试结果表明，营造能增强赋权感的环境将对组织成员产生积极影响，并提高组织效能。
