Autonomy

In the context of Human Resources, autonomy refers to the degree of independence and freedom individuals have in their roles to make decisions and take actions regarding their work. It enables employees to exercise control over their tasks, processes, and workflows, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility. Autonomy is often linked to job satisfaction, motivation, and employee engagement, as it allows individuals to leverage their skills and creativity. Organizations that provide autonomy tend to empower their employees, encouraging innovation and improving overall performance, as employees feel more valued and trusted in their contributions.
