This empowerment consists of three components, training employees, creating a culture of allowing employees to give input and have control of their work, and giving employee access to information and providing feedback. Employee performance constructs, also had a number attributes to be considered. Each of the constructs of empowerment was tested to determine its relationship with employee performance.
