The investigation method in this research is descriptive-surveying. The statistical population of this research included all the official employees of University of Isfahan having bachelor degrees that were 304 individuals and 57 people were selected as samples by using Cochran formula. Cluster sampling was used for the sampling purpose. The research results show that the empowerment level in the employees is appropriate in all the measures except for the criterion in trust. Moreover, the findings in the relations between organizational factors and the empowerment level show that there is a significant and direct relationship between the level of empowerment of the employees and the factors such as clear goals, reward system, accessibility to resources, performance evaluation systems, and the professional development, but no significant relation exists between the organizational structure and the empowerment levels in employees.
