心理授权研究的现状

A Review of the Research on Psychological Empowerment

心理授权是授权的个体内心体验的综合体，包含意义、自我效能感、自我决定以及影响四个维度。个体心理授权的影响因素方面包括个体特征、工作特征以及团体和组织特征等三个方面。心理授权不仅能作为自变量对相关工作态度、工作行为及绩效发挥积极的作用，也能作为中介变量对某些因素之间的关系起着中介作用。该文最后在对心理授权的相关研究进行总结的基础上，指出未来的研究有必要加强对心理授权的纵向过程研究等四方面问题的考察。

Psychological empowerment is defined as a motivational construct manifested in four cognitions: meaning， self-efficacy or competence， self-determination， and impact. As to the antecedents of this construct， studies indicate that factors of individual characteristics， work or job characteristics， and group and organizational characteristics all contribute to the form and change of psychological empowerment. As to the consequences of the construct， scholars have found that psychological empowerment can affect work-related outcomes both as independent variables and as mediators or moderators. Based on the review of the studies on psychological empowerment， the paper pointed out four prospects for the future research such as the intervening mechanism of psychological empowerment， and longitudinal process research on psychological empowerment.
