Abstract: In order to maintain a competitive edge, organisations are flourishing the idea of employee empowerment. Researchers support the concept and establish that organisations grow with an increased creativity and productivity among employees when they are empowered. To understand the phenomenon in normative conditions, we studied 245 teachers in higher academic institutions (universities). We used the Spreitzer's empowerment scale to capture the responses from 220 participants quantitatively; and to appraise the existing perception about employee empowerment more deeply, we engaged 25 participants into in-depth interviews. Quantitative results depict that designation, education, and age are highly correlated to the empowerment feeling among university teachers. We have discussed the emergence of prominent themes from 25 in-depth interviews in our discussion. This exploration helps us to understand the normative perspective of empowerment among university teachers.
