Abstract
Based on a postal survey and interviews, this paper analyses employee empowerment in the UK manufacturing industry, including how it is pursued and perceived, and the key factors that determine success. Success seems to depend on far‐reaching changes in procedures, hierarchies and reward structures. This need to mobilise individual agents and structure reconfirms the agency‐structure duality.
