Keywords: Empowerment, Organizational Learning, University of Tehran staff; 1. Introduction Empowerment has been regarded as an important concept because it potentially affects outcomes that benefit individuals and organizations (Han & et al, 2009). There has been increasing interest in the concept of empowerment among both organizational theorists and practitioners (Conger and Kanungo, 1988; Moye&Henkin, 2006; Moye&Henkin, 2005). Researchers and practitioners have embraced empowerment as a way to encourage and increase decision making at lower levels in an organization and, concurrently, enrich employee s work experience (Liden& et al, 2000). Conger and Kanungo(1988) viewed empowerment as a motivational construct. Thomas and Velthouse(1990), extending the general approach taken by Conger and Kanungo(1988), suggested that empowerment should be viewed as a multidimensional construct. Empowerment has been discussed from two different perspectives organizational attribute and individual psychological attribute (Baker et al., 2007; Thomas &Velthouse, 1990). In this study, we examined psychological empowerment among employees. Studies have revealed that permanent employees experienced higher levels of empowerment than did temporary employees in the same organization BehzadShahbazi.

2 1550 RahmatollahAllahyari et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 30 (2011) (Felfe et al., 2008; Kim, 2007). Spreitzer(1995) recognized that, despite the increasing interest in empowerment in the literature, the absence of a theoretically-driven measure of psychological empowerment in a work environment would continue to deter substantive related research in the workplace. However, Spreitzer(2007), believes that employees have experience of the nature of empowerment that is called "psychological empowerment"(vacharakiat, 2008). According to Spreitzer(1995), psychological empowerment is an internal stimulator that allows employees to feel or perceive they have the ability to get things done. This perception results in work effectiveness and job satisfaction. Spreitzer(2007) describes psychological empowerment as a group of psychological states essential for a person to feel that he or she can control the relationship to his or her own work. Instead of focusing on managerial practices which share power among employees at different levels, the psychological vantage point focus on employees experience of their own work and the nature of that unique experience(vacharakiat, 2008). In her validated measure of psychological empowerment, Spreitzer(1995) defined psychological empowerment as a motivational construct manifested in four cognitions: specifically, meaning, competence, self-determination, impact(moye&henkin, 2006; Chow & et al, 2006). ing, or purpose, addresses the fit between the needs of one s work role and the collection of individual beliefs, values and behaviors(spreitzer, 1995; Denton &Kleiman, 2001). Competence, or self-efficacy that is specific to one s work, is a belief in one s capability to perform work activities with skill and is similar to the concepts of agency beliefs, personal mastery, or effort-performance expectancy (Spreitzer, 1995; Denton &Kleiman, 2001). Self-determination or autonomy involves exercising control over the methods used to perform work activities, the scheduling of those activities, and the standards used to judge performance (Spreitzer, 1995; Denton &Kleiman, 2001; Breaugh, 1985). Impact is the degree to which one can influence strategic, administration, or operating outcomes in one s department or work unit (Spreitzer, 1995; Denton &Kleiman, 2001). Participation: involvement in mental and emotional status of individuals in a group that raises him to the realization of goals and helped the group to share the responsibility to know the group (Davis, and Newstrom, 1989). These cognitions reflect employees' orientation toward their jobs and have been associated with positive results(spreitzer, 1995; Spreitzer, Kizilos, &Nason, 1997; Harris et al, 2009). Thomas and Velthouse(1990) suggested that the organizational environment can have a strong influence on empowerment(moye&henkin, 2005). Empowerment is a key determinant of quality of service and customer satisfaction. Empowered employees use their discretion to take care of the customers needs and solve their problems so that service quality and customer satisfaction are enhanced. Empowerment leads to important behavioural outcomes. For instance, empowerment enhances the self-efficacy of employees (Conger and Kanungo, 1988) as discretion allows them to decide the best way to serve customers (Gist and Mitchell, 1992). Empowerment also leads to employees becoming more adaptive (Scott and Bruce, 1994). With empowerment, employees will be able to accommodate customer requests and achieve the highest service quality standards. Empowerment is a prerequisite for successful quality initiatives and should be incorporated into the service delivery process so that customer needs are addressed more quickly and resolved more efficiently. Employees will provide better quality service and feel a sense of pride in their job if they are trusted and empowered to resolve any guest service issues (Chow & et al, 2006). All humans are born with the ability to learn and it is thought learning that they adapt to the changing and evolving environment. Learning leads to new insights and concepts. It often occurs when we take effective actions and we detect and correct our own mistakes (Argyris and Schon, 1978; Sharifirad, 2010: ). Organizational learning is a necessary resource and capability for firms seeking to sustain a competitive advantage in today s market place (Barney, 1991). According to resource based theory, resources include all the assets, capabilities, organizational processes, firm attributes, information, knowledge and etc., controlled by a firm that enable the firm to conceive of and implement strategies that are efficient and effective (Barney, 1991, P. 101). In this light, organizational learning, defined as the capability for organizations to create, disseminate, and act upon generated knowledge, can be regarded as a source (Auh and Mengue, 2005; Sharifirad, 2010: ). To present just a few of them, Senge (1990) defines organizational learning as a continuous testing of experience and its transformation into knowledge available to the whole organization and relevant to their mission,
3 RahmatollahAllahyari et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 30 (2011) while Huber (1991) sees it as a combination of four processes: information acquisition, information distribution, information interpretation and organizational memory. Argyris and Schön (1996) are even less restricting in their definition, declaring that organizational learning emerges when organizations acquire information (knowledge, understandings, know-how, techniques and procedures) of any kind by any means. However, the dominant paradigm for understanding organizational learning has taken very much from the information-processing perspective of organizations (Cyert and March, 1963). According to it, the organizations interact with the environment constantly to capture information (Hong, 1999). Dimovski (1994) provides an overview of previous research and identifies four perspectives on organizational learning. His model manages to merge informational, interpretational, strategic and behavioural approach to organizational learning and defines it as a process of information acquisition, information interpretation and resulting behavioural and cognitive changes, which should in turn have an impact on organizational performance. Thurbin(1994) defined learning organization as one, which improves its knowledge and understanding of itself and its environment over time, by facilitating and making use of the learning of its individual members(thurbin, 1994; Mansor et al, 2010: 62-75). 2. Research Questions 1) There is a significant relationship between empowerment with organizational learning among the staff of Tehran University. 2) Psychological empowerment dimensions predict organizational learning. 3)There is a significant difference between empowerment and organizational learning of male and female employees in the Tehran University. 4)There is a significant difference between empowerment and organizational learning of managers and employees in the Tehran University. 3.
