心理授权研究进展

二十多年来，心理授权受到研究者的广泛重视。在以往研究中，研究者提出了心理授权的单维结构说、三维结构说、四维结构说和六维结构说，并在此基础上开发了相应的测量工具。在心理授权的影响因素方面，已有研究主要考察了个体变量和组织变量对心理授权的影响；在后果变量方面，主要探讨的是心理授权与工作满意度、组织承诺、职业承诺、绩效、心理健康等方面的关系。针对现有研究中存在的问题，本文在最后提出了未来研究的一些建议。

Development of Research on Psychological Empowerment

Psychological empowerment has attracted attention in the past 20 years from both researchers and practicers for its important role in an organization’s development. In the previous literature, different opinions on the structure of psychological empowerment have been put forward, including the single-dimension concept, three-dimension concept, four-dimension concept and six-dimension concept. In respect of its antecedent variables, researchers have examined the effects of individual (mainly including socioeconomic variables and personality variables) and organizational variables on psychological empowerment. As to its outcome variables, previous studies have found that psychological empowerment is positively related with individuals` job satisfaction, profession commitment, organization commitment, performance and mental health, but inconsistent findings still exists in the respect of the influence of psychological empowerment’s dimensions on these outcomes . Based on comprehensive analysis on literature, the limitations in the present domain of psychological empowerment were put forward, and the directions and advices for future study were also given.
