| Abstract | Employee empowerment has become an important organizational solution in service-based industries where human capital is a decisive factor in service quality, innovation, and sustainability of institutions. As knowledge-oriented and people-focused service industry, the private education sector is becoming more and more reliant on empowered educators and academic administrators in order to attain organizational development and competitiveness in the long run. This theoretical article explores the theoretical basis of employee empowerment and its connection with organization development in the service industry and the focus is on the private educational institutions. The study will be based on the existing theories of empowerment, organizational development, and human resource management to propose an integrated theoretical framework based on the existing literature. The article identifies major dimensions of empowerment, structural, psychological and relational, and deliberates on how these dimensions assist in creating institutional effectiveness, faculty engagement, organizational learning and adaptive change in the private education context. It is concluded in the paper by defining theoretical implications, management insights, and suggestions of enhancing the development of organizations through empowerments in the case of the private educational institutions. |
