In developmental psychology and moral, political, and bioethical philosophy, autonomy^{[note 1]} is the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision. Autonomous organizations or institutions are independent or self-governing. Autonomy can also be defined from a human resources perspective, where it denotes a (relatively high) level of discretion granted to an employee in his or her work.^[1] In such cases, autonomy is known to generally increase job satisfaction. Self-actualized individuals are thought to operate autonomously of external expectations.^[2] In a medical context, respect for a patient's personal autonomy is considered one of many fundamental ethical principles in medicine.
