It may be the result of inappropriate distribution of power in hospitals, allocating power to only a few at the top of hospital hierarchy imposing it. Determining the relationship between nurses' perception of their head nurses' empowering behaviors and their own work empowerment, a correlational study with contribution of 132 licensed nurses was carried on, in which nurses perceptions were measured by two self-report questionnaires. The results indicated that nurses obtained a moderate score in Leader Empowering Behavior (LEB). scale ( =3.78 1.71) and also in Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaires (C.W.E.Q) ( =15.15 4.2). Also a relatively strong statistically significant relation between the two major variables of the study was identified (rs=0.518, p SP - 34 EP - 39 AU - F. Homayouni, AU - F. Dabbaghi, AU - E.
