Abstract As organizations struggle to deliver the same level of services with Fewer resources, administrators are challenged with redesigning workplace, to maximize nurses’ commitment and increase trust. Thus, creating a spirit of empowerment through providing proper information, support, resources, and opportunities is the responsibility of the hospital nurse managers, and empowerment does not occur in isolation. It requires structural’s power characteristic in the work environment- in addition to trust and commitment on the part of the nurse managers toward their organization. By observing Assiut University hospital nurse mangers, it was found that empowerment is frequently ill-defined and not related with or to other managerial concepts, theories, or practices in the workplace. Consequently, empowerment principles are ineffectively applied.
