Abstract
Rural women can be effectively utilized if empowerment can be used as a strategy for working women in rural settings. The author deciphers the transformation of structural empowerment to psychological empowerment through the mediating mechanisms of self-efficacy and perceived resource adequacy. Through a questionnaire administered to 80 women gram pradhans from rural India, it was found that self-efficacy and perceived resource adequacy mediate this relationship. The author then interviews ten of these eighty women to refine the understanding of the results.
