Summary: | Potterfield calls for actions that cut through the ideological barriers to empowerment at the corporate level and also for ways to alter the prevailing power structure, to enhance the relative strength of employees in various types of organizations. His book provides a synthesis of major empowerment theories and viewpoints, a discussion of its historical and intellectual roots, an inquiry into empowerment practices at a Fortune 100 company, and a discussion of both the emancipatory potential and ideological constraints in empowerment theories and practices. With specific recommendations for corporate and societal action, Dr. Potterfield's book is an invaluable resource for professionals, teachers, and students in management, organizational studies, human resources, and organizational change.
