could someone help me to find the latest version of empowerment scale of spreitzer please?
Hello Hamdi
I am not aware of an updated version; only of the Spreitzer 1995 scale.
However, Spreitzer is a RG member. You could try asking the original author:
Spreitzer, G. M. (1995). Psychological empowerment in the workplace: Dimensions, measurement, and validation. Academy of management Journal, 38(5), 1442-1465.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256840619_Psychological_Empowerment_in_the_WorkPlace_Dimensions_Measurements_And_Validation
Quinn, R. E., & Spreitzer, G. M. (1997). The road to empowerment: Seven questions every leader should consider. organizational Dynamics, 26(2), 37-49.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232555566
If you are unable to make contact, there have been various translations of the scale (examples below). If no RG members supply an updated scale in response to your question, these authors might be worth contacting on RG, for their expertise on this matter:
Hochwälder, J., & Brucefors, A. B. (2005). A psychometric assessment of a Swedish translation of Spreitzer's empowerment scale. Scandinavian journal of psychology, 46(6), 521-529.

Also RG members publishing papers more recently on the subject may be worth contacting, e.g.:
Matthews, R. A., Michelle Diaz, W., & Cole, S. G. (2003). The organizational empowerment scale. Personnel Review, 32(3), 297-318.
