Abstract
Employee Empowerment oriented practices have established themselves as a distinct and important
paradigm of performance excellence. But literature associated with empowerment has often been
criticised for being based on management perspective. The present paper aims to explore employee
empowerment from employees perspective. Further employees perception is studied across various
variables like gender, sector, organisation etc. Awareness, Availability and Effectiveness Level comes
out to be in Aware, Fairly Available and Effective category of five-point rating scale. Paper
reports concern in employees perception regarding availability of empowerment practices in Indian
organisation. Further, significant difference in employees perception was found among two genders,
among employees of manufacturing and service sector, among employees of public and private
organisations. The present paper highlights that employees’ perception is quite favourable thus
adoption and concentration of HPWPs is easy in Indian settings. It is well known fact that positive
perception of employees help in participative and enthusiastic implementation of HPWPs.
