The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the high shool principal's use of power and teachers' self-perception of professionalism. Seven bases of power were explored during this study: (a)Reward Power, (b) Coercive Power, (c) Legitimate Power, (d) Referent Power, (e) Expert Power, (f) Information Power, and (g) Connection Power. Four dimensions of professionalism were identified as subscales and were: (a) Personal Characteristics, (b) Commitment to Change and Continuous Improvement, (c) Subject and Pedagogical Knowledge, and (d) Activities Beyond the Classroom. The quantitative study combined two data collection tools, the Power Perception Profile - Perception of Other and the Teacher Professionalism Inventory - Self, to provide opportunity for teachers to describe their current perceptions of their principals' use of power and their self-perception of professionalism. While no relationships were identified as being statistically significant, findings did suggest that teachers' selfperception of professionalism was both directly and inversely related to the principal's use of power. Principals who understand how their use of power grows or hinders their teachers' sense of professionalism equips them with the necessary tools to foster professional development that is both positive and beneficial to the teachers.

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of managers’ power on employees’ entrepreneurship in the public offices by using five dimensions of power (Coercive, expert, legitimate, referent, and reward)  to give constructive suggestions for situation improvement through identifying powers affecting employees' entrepreneurship. Design/Methodology/Approach: Considering the research objective, it is an applied study, and regarding data collection and the data analysis method, it is a descriptive-correlational study which has analyzed data through structural equations modeling with partial least squares (PLS) approach. Data were collected using two questionnaires including managers’ power and employees’ entrepreneurship. A sample of 600 employees was selected from the public offices of Iran. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and Amos software. Results: The finding revealed that reward power, referent power, expert power and legitimate power had a positive and significant effect on employees’ entrepreneurship, but the coercive power had not significant effect on it. Limitations: Among limitations of the current research are the big size of the statistical population that made it difficult to collect data, as well as the existence of different cultures in the statistical population which could partly affect the results of the research. Practical implications: Research findings can be used to improve the entrepreneurship of employees in government organization. Originality/value: Authors confirm that the current research and its results are genuine and have been published nowhere so far. The proposed structural model in the current research can be used in government departments and improve the entrepreneurship status of employees in the organization.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to expand understanding of how leaders can use their power to reshape macro-level structures to foster individuals' freedoms and build more democratic workplaces. The importance of freedom in work and life can hardly be argued with, yet current democracy scores are the lowest that have ever been recorded (Economist Intelligence Unit, 2019).Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyzed two cases of successful democratization, Spain and Lithuania, where they conducted a total of 65 semi-structured interviews with different actors including the top leaders themselves. A combined inductive-deductive analysis of the in-depth qualitative data highlighted how using different dimensions of power (French and Raven, 1959) related to distributing power to others.FindingsThese findings extend understanding of how leaders can use their power to effectively distribute power to others and reach a democracy that fosters freedom. Information and referent power were crucial for aligning the different stakeholder groups, expert power emerged as key for building and empowering a network of support and legitimate power was essential for fostering peaceful and long-lasting changes toward democracy.Originality/valueWhile previous research has recognized the importance of leadership and politics for instigating macro-level changes, this study specifies how leaders can utilize their different sources of power to bring greater power and freedom to individuals by unpacking the unique impacts of each type of power. This study thus provides practical insights for leaders seeking to establish more democratic workplaces.

The Relationship

The effects of salespersons' use of a power base on customers' satisfaction was investigated. Data were collected from 178 intermediary customers in a marketing channel. A maximum likelihood, ordered logit estimation was conducted to detect the relationship between customers' satisfaction and the salesperson's use of a particular power base. Contrary to previous power studies, the salespersons' application of a referent power base played the largest role in ensuring customers' satisfaction, followed by reward, expert, and legitimate power. The salespersons' use of a coercive power base had an inverse effect on customers' satisfaction.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the process of the use of management’s positivity and negativity sources and their mediation on pharmaceutical members’ satisfaction that, in turn, enable a health-care organization to meet its business objectives with more agility. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from a survey of 106 pharmaceutical members regarding their relationships with management. Findings The results of LISREL analysis revealed that the use of positivity variables such as reward enhanced each of referent, expert and positive conflict; in addition, referent boosted satisfaction. However, the use of negativity variables such as opportunism enhanced power, but weakened each of referent, expert and legitimate power sources. The use of coercion enhanced power too, but produced dissatisfaction. Further, the prevalence of negative conflict caused dissatisfaction. Originality/value This study also reported major contributions when it examined the effect of the mediation of the use of positivity intrinsic power sources on satisfaction. It found that referent power functioned as a full mediator by dropping the amount of the relationship between the use of reward and satisfaction to zero and as a partial mediator by dropping the amount of the relationship between the use of coercion and satisfaction. In addition, the use of referent power mediated the joint effect of both the use of coercion and reward power sources, triggering a positive effect on satisfaction. Several managerial implications were discussed.

Purpose – This study aims to present a conceptual model of how blog readers' perceptions of satisfaction generate blog loyalty, which in turn enhances bloggers' power. This study also seeks to investigate the moderating influence of subjective norms on the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty. Design/methodology/approach – The structural equation modelling approach was used to estimate a conceptual model based on survey data from blog readers in Taiwan. After discarding incomplete responses, the final sample consisted of 567 completed responses. Findings – The majority of the results supported the hypotheses. Three types of exchange outcome satisfaction influence blog readers' perceptions of bloggers' power by increasing attitudinal loyalty. Information satisfaction has a direct and positive effect on expert power. Most importantly subjective norms exhibited a positive moderating relationship between exchange outcome satisfaction and attitudinal loyalty. The authors found no evidence to support the relationship between exchange outcome satisfaction and behavioural loyalty. Originality/value – From the perspectives of exchange outcome satisfaction, loyalty, power, and susceptibility to normative influence, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the process through which blog readers become loyal to their bloggers and are influenced by bloggers' expert and referent power.
