I’m a bit confused; could it be A) Entitlement? That seems related to rights, but I feel like it’s not quite right for this context.

I remember a practice question that talked about trust in decision-making, which sounds like empowerment too, but I’m not completely sure.

I think this might be about giving employees more control, so I’m leaning towards B) Empowerment.
