Abstract
Today in learner and advancing organizations, empowering human resources must be a necessary sustainable process. Given the multiplicity of the current definitions of empowering human resources in the related literature, a valid and practical pattern is one of the requirements of the third-millennium organizations. The researches aims to build a logical bond among such elements (involved in empowerment) as: environmental grounds, Islamic values, perceptions and attitudes, organizational grounds, personal differences, domestic work place and psychological empowerment. To design the pattern, the researcher first reviewed the related literature and then domesticated the concept of human resources empowerment for the National Media. Relying on the pattern proposed by Robbins et. al, two other pillars, i.e. environmental aspect and Islamic values were accounted for. Confirmatory factor analysis (using LISREL software) was used to test the research conceptual pattern, to confirm the influential factors and explain the variables’ effective interactions.
The proposed pattern in this study could give practical insights into potential successful paths as well as obstacles to empowerment.
