There are two models of organization design and management: control model and involvement model. The production-line approach to managing people is based on the control model, whereas empowerment is based on the involvement model. Empowerment can take place on several levels: suggestion involvement, job involvement, and high involvement. Empowerment can bring a number of benefits, including: improved service quality, better customer service, higher employee satisfaction, higher customer satisfaction and loyalty, increased revenues and profitability for the firm. However, empowerment increases costs of the organization. Recruitment, training, and motivating of service employees require higher costs and more time. There is also a risk of higher variability of services which might result in different levels of service quality negatively affecting customer satisfaction. Thus, the decisions on the extent of empowering service personnel require consideration of the service characteristics, service delivery process, customers' needs, skills of employees, organizational culture, as well as the costs and benefits of empowerment.
