Faculty members answered 53 people at Farhangian University of Razavi and North Khorasan provinces. Then, by exploratory factor analysis, 37 of 14 components were identified. Finally, the empowerment model of faculty members was presented with confirmatory factor analysis. In the first step, 48 components were identified, in the second step 37 and in the last step, the empowerment model with 30 components in 14 dimensions were approved. The model was fixed with a probability value of 0.001.
