Abstract
In the networked, hollow state, the public's work is increasingly done through collaborative processes. This pilot study examines how Kanter's theory of empowerment, as modified by Laschinger, relates to a continuum of participative processes. Four potentially collaborative groups were surveyed to examine the degree to which they varied on scores of collaboration and empowerment. Significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of measures directly related to empowerment. This analysis supports the Himmelman paradigm of a continuum of collaboration that moves from collaborative betterment to collaborative empowerment.
