The Effect of Information Sharing on Empowerment in Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the differences in information sharing and psychological empowerment in organisations, as well as the relationship of both. Using multiple case study research in four manufacturing companies in Indonesia, this study found that the levels and the relationships are different across the companies studied. The differences are explained by the extensiveness use of empowering initiatives and the contextual factors surrounding the companies. The limitations of the universal measures of information and empowerment are also discussed ..
