Activity: Are you empowered as a student?

The source of this scale is: Adapted from G. M. Spreitzer, "Psychological empowerment in the workplace: Dimensions, measurement, and validation," Academy of Management Journal, 38 (1995), pp. 1442-1465.

Empowerment is a psychological concept represented by feelings of self-determination, meaning, competence, and impact. The empowerment concept applies to people 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.
