Abstract
The aim of this concept analysis is to clarify the meaning and relationship of psychological and structural empowerment. Empowerment is linked to positive organizational and individual constructs and outcomes. Improving the work environment may assist in sustaining a fragile and essential workforce. Walker and Avant's method was used to guide an analysis of this concept. Resources published from 1970 to 2018 were identified via electronic databases, empirical works, and modern operational usage of the terms. A literature review and search for concept maps were completed and analyzed to identify uses and definitions of the concept: attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents. It also includes identifying model, borderline, and contrary cases to differentiate empowerment from other related concepts. A comprehensive, inclusive review of empowerment must include both constructs, structural and psychological. A conceptual map of these akin constructs illustrates their syndication. The concept of examining empowerment from both constructs, structural and psychological, is necessary to develop evidence-based practice strategies and improve the work environment and workforce.
