18. Legitimate Power
• This power comes by virtue of a person’s
occupying a position in an organization. As an
example, the school teacher is generally
expected to what subject matter should be
discussed, in what order, using what teaching
method.

19. Expert Power
• This is the capacity to influence which arises from
expert knowledge that the influencer has. As an
example, we generally do what the doctor tells us
to do when we’re suffering from an ailment, even
though the doctor is not our superior in the
organization

20. Referent Power
• This is power that comes by virtue of some
personal characteristic of the person which
others identify with. As an example, Before the
February Revolution, Cory Aquino could move
hundreds and thousands of Filipinos to boycott
certain business establishments even though
she occupied no position in government at that
time.

21. Reward Power
• This is power that comes by virtue of a person’s
ability to give or withhold resources which are
valued by others. Thus, many politicians in our
country have power which results from their
ability to dispense patronage.

22. Punishment Power
• Closely related to Reward Power, this is the
power which comes from the capacity to deprive
a person of something of value. As an example,
A robber with a gun over our head has power
over us.

23. Relationship Power
• This is the power which comes from a system of
informal personal obligations which has been
built up between people. As an example, In the
Philippines, Utang na Loob and long standing
family alliances (especially in rural areas)are
ready examples of this source of influence.

will be the contribution of subordinates to
organizational goals

individual will perceive that their personal
goals are in harmony with enterprise
objectives.

27. Principle of Unity of

reporting relationship to a single superior,
the less the problem of conflict in
instructions and the greater the feeling of
personal responsibility for results.
