Salah satu kunci dari efektivitas kepemimpinan adalah bagaimana seorang pemimpin diterima dan didukung oleh bawahannya (leader endorsement). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi dukungan bawahan terhadap pemimpin berdasarkan teori identitas sosial. Artikel ini memiliki hipotesis bahwa prototipikalitas pemimpin (leader prototypicality) dan personal bases of power dari pemimpin (expert power dan referent power) memengaruhi dukungan bawahan terhadap pemimpinnya. Menggunakan online surveys kami berhasil mendapatkan partisipan sebanyak 135 karyawan dari berbagai perusahaan swasta di Indonesia. Reliabilitas masing-masing alat ukur yang digunakan berkisar antara 0,80 – 0,90. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa: (1) leader prototypicality tidak signifikan memengaruhi leader endorsement (β = .124; p < .05); (2) leaders’ expert power (β = .767; p < .01) dan leaders’ referent power (β = .363; p < .01) signifikan memengaruhi leader endorsement. Faktor tersebut mampu memprediksi varian leader endorsement sebesar 78,3%, F(3.94) = 56.706, p < .01. Temuan penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap perkembangan teori identitas sosial bahwa pada konteks perusahaan swasta, identitas sosial pemimpin bukan menjadi faktor yang menentukan terbentuknya dukungan terhadap pemimpin.

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.

PurposeThis study aims to elaborate the picture of the relationships between information and power by examining how expert power appears in the characterizations of gatekeeping presented in the research literature.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses conceptual analysis for examining how expert power is constitutive of the construct of gatekeeper and how people subject to the influence of gatekeeping trust or challenge the expert power attributed to gatekeepers. The study draws on the analysis of 40 key studies on the above issues.FindingsResearchers have mainly constructed the gatekeepers' expert power in terms of superior knowledge and skills applicable to a specific domain, coupled with an ability to control or facilitate access to information. The gatekeeper's expert power has been approached as a contextual factor that facilitates rather than controls access to information. The power relationships between the gatekeepers and those subject to gatekeeping vary contextually, depending on the extent to which the latter have access to alternative sources of information. The findings highlight the need to elaborate the construct of gatekeeping by rethinking its relevance in the networked information environments where the traditional picture of gatekeepers controlling access to information sources is eroding.Research limitations/implicationsAs the study focuses on how expert power figures in gatekeeping, no attention is devoted to the role of social power of other types, for example, reward power and referent power.Originality/valueThe study pioneers by providing an in-depth analysis of the nature of expert power as a constituent of gatekeeping.

Implicit Power

Subjects viewed a videotape of a manager behaving in either a positive, punitive, or goal-setting manner who was portrayed as having a reputation for effectiveness or ineffectiveness (or had no information given about his reputation). The impact of these variables upon perceptions of power was assessed. Managerial behavior signifi cantly influenced perceptions of reward, coercive, legitimate, expert, and referent power. Managerial reputation significantly influenced perceptions of legitimate, referent, and especially, expert power. The relationships between overt managerial behavior and subordinate power perception were replicated in a second more "natural" ex periment. The results suggested the existence of an "implicit power theory" evoked by these managerial behaviors and information cues.

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

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.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceptions of soccer players about leadership powers according to their level of play. Data were collected from 781 male amateur and professional soccer players operating at a number of different levels of competitive play. A modified Turkish version of the Power in Sport Questionnaire-Other/PSQ-O (Wann, Metcalf, Brewer, & Whiteside, 2000), was used together with an information form. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences related to Coercive Power and Expert Power, but no significant differences regarding Referent Power and Legitimate Power. Results indicated that 14-15 year olds were found to be a very critical age group in relation to perceptions of CP and EP in soccer.

Coaching Effectiveness

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between team sport coaches’ power and coaching effectiveness using French and Raven’s (1959) taxonomy of power bases as a theoretical framework. Coaching effectiveness (CE) was conceptualized as an umbrella concept and four different CE outcomes were used; athletes’ satisfaction with the coach, coaches’ general influence, adaptive training behaviours, and collective efficacy. Hypotheses were made on the specific relationships between the individual power bases and the effectiveness criteria. The total sample consisted of 820 athletes (47% females), representing 56 elite and nonelite teams from three team sports (soccer, floorball, and team handball). Data were analysed separately for adults and youths. Structural equations modelling showed that 30% (in the youth sample) and 55% (in the adult sample) of the proposed hypotheses was supported. Overall, coaches’ bases of power were strongly associated with coaching effectiveness, explaining between 13% and 59% of variance in the effectiveness outcomes used. Expert power was consistently positively related to coaching effectiveness; reward and coercive power had mixed relationships (positively, negatively, unrelated) as had legitimate power (negatively, unrelated) and reward power (positively, unrelated). The results are discussed in relation to coaching effectiveness, limitations, practical implications and future research.

Ted Talks

This study attempted to investigate the use of intertextuality as a source of power in a TED talk sample, viz., Sir Ken Robinson's 'Do Schools Kill Creativity?' within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This paper followed a qualitative paradigm in analyzing the sample data. Accordingly, an eclectic model was devised, integrating Gee's (2014a, 2014b) model of intertextual analysis and French and Raven's (1959) model of the bases of social psychological power. The application of this model to the selected data has yielded some conclusions, the most salient of which is that intertextuality is important in TED talks as it is used to show implicit meanings to exercise two types of power: expert power and referent power. Accordingly, it is recommended to consider power relations and the exercise of power when conducting any intertextual analysis within the framework of CDA.
