Abstract: Empowerment is an emerging construct, widely used by theorists/social scientists. Despite the recognized role of empowerment in management theory and practice, our understanding of the construct is limited and often confusing. Most management theorists have dealt with empowerment as a set of managerial technique and have not paid sufficient attention to its nature or the processes underlying the construct. This may reflect the pragmatic or practice orientation of theorists, and the result may be an inadequate understanding of the notion of empowerment and its theoretical rationale for related practices.............

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out if there was provision for employees to strike in Zimbabwe in the wake of recent legislation developments such as the New Constitution of 2013 and the Labour Amendment Act 28:01 Number 5 of 2015. The right to strike in Zimbabwe has been a contentious issue in both the public and private sectors.

In the Public service, civil servants are not allowed to go on strike according to the Public Service Act 16:04 and even the Labour Act 28:01(Amended August 2015)............
