TY - SER AU - Gupta Ananda Das TI - Empowerment at Work : The Dyadic Approach PY - 0000///0 CY - PB - Jan - Mar 2006 KW - Empowerment N2 - The very idea of empowerment depends on managing the dilemmas or polarities (dyads of a continuum) which confront management decisions in organisations. Polarities can also help people diagnose and deal with a group's resistance to change. This paper proposes a new approach to empowerment, reinforcing the traditional (centralised) and modern (participative) approaches with a new 'dyadic transcendence' style where the empowerment has to be balanced between the two approaches. Organisations that wish to survive and thrive in today's dynamic marketplace need to constantly re-invent their work processes and structures. Real empowerment must be supported by information collected from both dyads of a continuum: innerdyads and outer dyads UR - http://192.168.6.13/libsuite/mm_files/Articles/AR8916.pdf ER -
