2/13/24, 11:32 AM Smart Form Survey Complete Empowerment is a psychological concept represented by feelings of self-determination, meaning, competence, and impact. The empowerment concept applies to people in a variety of situations, not just the workplace. The self-assessment you are about to complete is specifically adapted to your position as a student at this college or university. Source: Adapted from G. M. Spreitzer, “Psychological empowerment in the workplace: Dimensions, measurement, and validation,” Academy of Management Journal, 38 (1995), pp. 1442-1465. Read each statement in the survey and select the rating that reflects the extent to which you agree or disagree with the scenario in the statement.

After completing the self-assessment, read the feedback that explains how to understand your score and interpret your results.
