Citizen Participation, Perceived Control, and Psychological Empowerment
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis research integrates the citizen participation literature and research on perceived control in an effort to further our understanding of psychological empowerment. Psychological empowerment is conceptualized as acting to gain mastery and control and as the self perception that one can exert influence over the environment. Eleven indices of empowerment representing personality, cognitive, and motivational measures were identified to represent the construct.
