There are two bases of power - formal power from one's position/authority, and personal power from skills/traits. The most effective personal powers are expert and referent power. There are also nine influence tactics ranging from rational persuasion to pressure. Organizational politics refers to activities to gain and use power for preferred outcomes where there is uncertainty. Political behavior is not required formally but influences advantages, and can be legitimate everyday politics or illegitimate extreme behavior. [END SUMMARY]
Power & Politics
This document discusses power and politics in organizations. It defines power as the ability to influence another person or group's behavior. Power comes from various sources like the ability to reward or punish, legitimate authority, charisma, expertise, or information. Politics involves using power to influence decisions and achieve desired outcomes when the outcomes are uncertain. Organizational politics can be modeled as either rational, where goals are clear and decisions are logical, or political, where goals are unclear and power/influence are needed due to disagreement, conflict, and imperfect information. While power and politics often have negative connotations, they can also be used positively by managers to control resources and promote organizational goals.
Power and Political Behavior.pptx
This document discusses power and political behavior in organizations. It defines power as the ability to influence others, which is based on dependence. Dependence arises when others rely on resources controlled by powerful individuals. There are two bases of power: formal power from one's position, and personal power from expertise and respect. Formal power includes coercive, reward, and legitimate power. Personal power includes expert and referent power. Political behavior is the non-required activities used to influence resource distribution. Politics cannot be avoided because organizations have competing interests and limited resources.
Power+and+politics
The document discusses the concept of power and its sources in organizations. It identifies several types of power including reward, coercive, legitimate, and expert power. Expert power is considered most effective as it transfers skills and knowledge, leading employees to internalize what they learn from expert managers. Successful power users have a high need for social power rather than personal power and demonstrate characteristics like belief in authority and altruism. The document also discusses empowerment and guidelines for sharing power with employees in a way that increases their belief in their own abilities.

Power & politics
Power refers to the ability to influence others through control of resources. It is an exchange relationship between an agent with power and a target to be influenced. Politics in organizations involves using power and social networks to benefit individuals or the organization. Organizational politics arises due to limited resources, ambiguous goals and decisions, and changing environments. It can have negative consequences like low job satisfaction, high stress, and goal displacement if used for personal gain rather than organizational objectives. Managing politics involves clearly defining jobs and rules to reduce ambiguity and favoritism, and ensuring rewards are based on objective performance criteria rather than political behavior.
Power And Politics
1. Power is defined as the capacity for person A to influence person B's behavior to act in accordance with A's wishes through B's dependency on A. Leadership focuses on goal achievement through mutual goal compatibility and downward influence, while power uses influence to achieve personal goals through follower dependency.
2. There are various bases of power, including formal power derived from one's position, and personal power stemming from skills/knowledge or desirable traits. Powerful individuals translate their power bases into specific power tactics to influence others' behavior.
3. Dependency is key to power, as the greater B's dependency on A, the more power A has. Dependency is increased by the importance, scarcity, and nonsubstitutability
Power and Politics in an Organization1.pdf
Power and politics are intertwined in organizations. Power refers to one's authority and influence over others, which can derive from formal positions, control over rewards or resources, expertise, or personal qualities that inspire respect. Politics involve using social networks and influence to benefit oneself or others within an organization. While politics can decrease job satisfaction and productivity if used in negative ways like attacking others, some level of politics is necessary in organizations for employees to advance and for leaders to accomplish goals. Power and politics are unavoidable aspects of organizational life that can be used constructively or destructively.

Power and politics are intertwined in organizations. Power refers to one's authority and influence over others, which can derive from formal positions, control over rewards or resources, expertise, or personal qualities that inspire respect. Politics involve using social networks and influence to benefit oneself or one's interests within an organization. While politics can decrease job satisfaction and productivity if used negatively, some level of politics is necessary for leaders to gain power and accomplish goals, as long as it is practiced ethically. An organization needs both power and politics to provide direction, structure, and assistance to employees, but these forces must be balanced and not allow manipulation or other unethical behaviors.
