الملخص EN

The aim of the present research was to validate Spreitzer's model concerning the structure of psychological empowerment.

According to Spreitzer (1995) framework, the concept of psychological empowerment contains four dimensions (domains): Meaning Compétence Self-Détermination Impact.

The afore-four factors pertain to a higher factor named psychological empowerment.

The validity of Spreitzer hierarchical multidimensional model of psychological empowerment was examined in comparison with two competing models of psychological empowerment structure: One factor-model and a correlated (non-hierarchical) four-factor model.

The sample consists of 586 employees; and Spreitzer's psychological empowerment questionnaire was used.

Confirmatory factor analysis, Through AMOS-22, was performed.

Results indicate that the hierarchical structure of psychological empowerment fits well the data, and were more valid than the two competing models: One factor-model and a correlated (non-hierarchical) five-factor model.

The study concluded with a discussion and recommendations.
