Empowering Leadership Scale
The Empowering Leadership Scale measures the extent to which leaders share power with and build the self-influence of their subordinates rather than directing them from the top down. Empowering leadership describes a set of behaviors — enhancing the meaningfulness of work, fostering participation in decisions, expressing confidence in subordinates' capabilities, and providing autonomy from bureaucratic constraints. Ahearne, Mathieu, and Rapp's 2005 Journal of Applied Psychology study introduced an influential leadership-empowerment-behavior measure and showed, in a salesforce setting, that empowering leadership improves customer satisfaction and performance through subordinate self-efficacy and adaptability. Sharma and Kirkman's 2015 review consolidated the construct, its measures, and its mechanisms, clarifying how empowering leadership operates through psychological empowerment and self-leadership. The scale is now a standard tool for studying when and for whom sharing power energizes employees.
