Abstract
This article aims to analyze workplace empowerment as a factor associated with the productivity of administrative staff at the University of Pamplona. The study derives from a master's research project developed under a quantitative approach, with a descriptive scope, cross-sectional design, and exploratory character. Data were collected through a structured 12-item survey administered to 50 employees linked to administrative positions, complemented by documentary review. The analytical categories were empowerment, leadership, motivation, work climate, and proactivity. The results show favorable conditions regarding decisiónmaking autonomy, access to resources, leadership support, workplace climate, and inclusión within work teams. However, improvement opportunities were also identified, mainly related to the consolidation of recognition programs, continuous participation in leadership spaces, and the reduction of neutral or low perceptions of empowerment. It is concluded that workplace empowerment is a relevant strategy for strengthening administrative productivity, provided that it is managed as a sustained institutional practice rather than as an isolated action. Its contribution is reflected in autonomy, motivation, shared responsibility, initiative, and staff alignment with institutional goals
