Answer to Question 1

C
When collaboration is used to solve a conflict or to create new directions, the energies of all par-ties are focused on solving the problem versus defeating the opposing party and creating the best possible versus an okay direction. When groups come together and mutual expectations are discussed and fostered, communication and collaboration are enhanced, which results in a more structurally empowered workforce.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
Avenues of power provide for the sources of structural empowerment in an organization. Ave-nues of power include access to information, access to resources required to do the job, having the opportunity to learn and grow, and being supported. In addition, the informal job factors that influence empowerment are the alliances that workers have with fellow workers at all levels of the organization. Workplaces that are structurally empowering provide many of the opportunities for involvement, commitment, and transparency.
