It is the state of feeling self-empowered to take control of your own destiny. Empowerment is feeling in control of work environment and that they have permission to make decisions in the areas under control and are responsible for in their job. The organization has the responsibility to create a work environment which helps foster the ability and desire of employees to act in empowered ways.
