What will be an ideal response?
• French and Raven have identified the five bases of power in organizations.
• Reward power is based on the perception of the power recipient that the power holder can grant some type of reward or remuneration for compliance to orders or commands.
• Coercive power is based on the belief of subordinates that if they do not do as they are told, they will be either threatened with punishment or punished directly.
• Legitimate power—the type most closely aligned to Weber's concept of authority—is exercised when a power holder is able to influence a power recipient to do something based on some internalized belief of the power recipient.
• Referent power is based on the identification of the power holder with the power recipient. This power is predicated on the attractiveness of the power recipient to the power holder.
• Expert power is based on the power recipient's belief that the power holder has a high level of expertise in a given area. This type of power is based on the "cognitive structure" of the power recipient and fosters the dependence of the power recipient on the power holder.
