TY  - JOUR
AB  - Suggests that the route to “excellence” is through the
empowerment of workers, but argues that this might become problematic
within the health care sector. Examines the development of empowerment
as a concept. Points out four different types of worker ‐the rebel, the
mainstay, the high performer and the miserable sod, and their possible
reactions to empowerment. Proposes ways of adapting the negative
characteristics of these workers in implementing empowerment. Concludes
that future action should be based on the introduction of empowerment
rather than its discussion.
