This study examined the relationship between psychological empowerment and three demographic variables of secondary educators in an urban public school in the State of Michigan. Psychological empowerment is traced historically from a concept in the business industry that focuses on customer service to a set of processes and sub-dimensions that impact the performance of employees. The selected three variables are level of education, years of experience, and gender. The researcher followed a quantitative method, implemented a quantitative design, and conducted the Psychological Empowerment Instrument (PEI) for a random sample of educators at the secondary level in a public school district in Michigan. Of the 65 teachers who were surveyed, 52 responded. Research supported that teacher empowerment could be influenced by social cognitive theory, self-determination theory, organizational culture, competence, and meaningfulness. Twelve research questions guided the study. Means were compared for the four dimensions of the PEI: Meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact. The grouping variables were level of education, years of experience, and gender. Independent samples "t-tests" were computed to evaluate the data. The results of the independent samples "t-tests" were moderate to highly skewed with statistical significance for two subdimensions of the gender variable, self-determination, and impact. Findings suggested that gender issues should be further examined and gender-oriented professional development may support teachers' empowerment. From the study results, recommendations were formulated suggesting that further qualitative research is needed to examine the impact of psychological empowerment on educators, school administration, and policymakers.
