The Meaning of Power, Politics, and Influence Is the potential or ability to influence decisions and control resources. Organizational politics Is the informal approaches to gaining power through means other than merit or luck. Influence Resembles power, but tends to be more subtle and indirect. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Sources of Individual and Subunit Power Socialized Power Is the use of power to achieve constructive ends. Personalized Power Is the use of power primarily for the sake of personal aggrandizement and gain. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Sources of Individual and Subunit Power Power Granted by the Organization (Position Power) Legitimate power is based on the manager’s formal position within the hierarchy of the firm. Power is enhanced by establishing polices and procedures that increase the scope of the position’s control. Coercive power is controlling others through the fear of punishment. To be effective, employees must fear the punishment. Reward power is controlling others through rewards or the promise of rewards. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Sources of Individual and Subunit Power Power Stemming from the Individual (Personal Power) Expert power is the ability to influence others because of one’s specialized knowledge, skills, or abilities. Referent power is the ability to influence others that stems from one’s desirable traits and characteristics. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Sources of Individual and Subunit Power Power from Providing Resources Resource Dependence Perspective Subunits or individuals within an organization who control or provide the resources that the organization needs on a continuing basis can become quite powerful. Control of resources equals power for managers. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Empowerment of Group Members Is the process of sharing power with group members, thereby enhancing their feelings of self-efficacy. Strategic benefits of distributing power: Improved productivity, quality, and satisfaction Keys for the transition to effective empowerment: Sharing information Providing more structure (training and support) Gradually replacing traditional organizational structure Allowing individuals and teams to determine how to achieve objectives Above all, trusting in employees to do the right thing A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Signs of Empowerment and Disempowerment Empowered Employees Take initiative in ambiguous situations Identify opportunities in ambiguous situations Apply critical thinking skills Offer judgments about how decisions support shared purpose Identify and act on opportunities to improve systems Optimize resources by reducing expenses and finding opportunities to invest in new resources A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Signs of Empowerment and Disempowerment Disempowered Employees Wait for a designated authority to take charge Address problem but fail to see opportunity Accept decisions without questioning Discuss but not able to apply information about shared purpose Attempt consensus but yield to higher authority when failing at consensus Focus on resource questions only when directed to do so A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Factors Contributing To and Examples of Political Behavior Organizations have a political nature due to: Coalitions of interests competing for resources. A pyramidal power structure that concentrates power at the top of the organization. Downsizing and team structures limit upward mobility for ambitious managers with a strong need for power. Decentralization disperses power in the organization. Machiavellian manipulation of others and the organization for personal gain by some managers. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Effective Use of Organizational Politics Ethical Behaviors Develop power contacts Manage your impression Control vital information Keep informed Be courteous, pleasant, and positive Ask satisfied customer to contact your manager Avoid political blunders Use flattery sincerely Unethical Behaviors Engage in backstabbing Embrace-or-demolish Set a person up for failure Play territorial games (turf wars) A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

Organizational Influence Tactics Leading by example Assertiveness Rationality Ingratiation Exchange Inspirational appeal and emotional display Joking and kidding A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.

The Control of Dysfunctional Politics and Ethical Considerations Excessive politics and influence tactics can harm an organization and its members. Ways to control these activities: Rely on objective measures of performance tied to proper and significant goals for the organization. Align individual goals and objectives to be congruent with those of the organization to increase commitment and performance. Practice open communications to remove the political value of information and to increase the overall understanding of the organization. A. J. DuBrin, Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior, Second Edition. Copyright © 2002 by South-Western.
