Abstract

The development and progress of a country can be done by some professionals, among others economists, technocrats and statesmen. Through teachers, these various specialists get knowledge. It is the teachers who do well in generating professionals who develop their knowledge in their fields. Therefore, teachers should own self-confidence and self-esteem to do their jobs. The empowerment of teacher is considered frequently on the assertion that the teachers who work closely with the students are in the best position to make sympathetic decisions. The institutional management should create environment for the work value by confirming the teacher’s access to the information, resources and support necessary to achieve the tasks and that they are provided constant opportunities for development. In the university context, this is mainly important, with new professional and innovative requirements for both teaching and non-teaching employees.
