Power and Politics MBA 501

“Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely” Lord Acton

Power defined . . . • The intentional influence over beliefs, emotions and behaviors of people. • Potential power is the capacity to do so • Kinetic power is the at of doing so • One person exerts power over another to the degree that he is able to exact compliance as desired

Power defined . . . • “A” has power over “B” to the extent that “A” can get “B” to do something that “B” would otherwise not do. • The ability of those who possess power to bring about the outcomes they desire. • The capacity to effect (or affect) organizational outcomes

Power defined . . . • “Pouvoir” from the French stands for both the noun “power” and the verb “to be able”

Common elements of the definitions • Effectance—getting one’s way • Necessity of social interaction among two or more parties • The act or ability to influence others • Outcomes favoring one part over the other • Power is the ability to get one’s way in a social situation.

Power in Action • Influence • Cooperation • Society • Leadership • Technological, medical, political, financial, spiritual, organizational  standard of living • Warfare, confiscation, repression misery

Positive Leading Influencing Selling Persuading Negative Coercing Forcing Hurting Crushing Faces of Power in Action

Negative power characterized by primitive, unsocialized need to dominate others Seeks to dominate and control others Positive power characterized by socialized needs to initiate, influence and lead Seeks to empower self and others McClelland and The Two Faces of Power

Coercive Reward Legitimate Expert Referent The Bases of Power

French and Raven’s 5 bases of Power • Coercive power depends on fear • One reacts to this type of power out of fear of the negative results that might occur if one fails to comply • It rests on the application (or the threat) of physical sanctions

Reward power . . . • is the opposite of coercive power • People comply because doing so produces benefits • anyone who can distribute rewards that others value will have power over them

Legitimate power . . . • represents the power a person receives as a result of his or her position in the formal hierarchy of an organization • Legitimate power is broader than the power to coerce and reward • it includes acceptance of a person’s authority by members of the organization

Expert power . . . • is influence wielded as a result of experience, special skill, or knowledge • Expertise has become a strong source of influence as the world has become more technologically oriented • As jobs become more specialized, we become more dependent on “experts”

Referent power . . . • is based on identification with a person who has desirable resources or admirable personal traits. • It develops out of an admiration for someone and a desire to be like that person • If person A admires person B enough to model behavior and attitudes after him or her, then person B has power over person A

What Creates Dependency? Importance of the Resource Scarcity of the Resource Number of Viable Substitutes

Locating Power in Organizations Departmental Individual • Place on committees • Number of employees • Budget allocation • Location of offices • Ability to intercede • Approval for spending • Items on the agenda • Access to top brass

Power Tactics Reason Friendliness Sanctions Coalition Higher Authority Bargaining Assertiveness

Individual Factors Which Contribute to Political Behavior • Level of self monitoring • Need for power • Internal locus of control • Investment in the organization • Perceived alternatives • Expectations of success

Low trust Democratic decision making High performance pressures Scarcity of resources Role ambiguity Self-serving senior managers Unclear evaluation systems Zero-sum allocations Organizational Factors that Contribute to Political Behavior

Over-conforming Buck passing Playing dumb Depersonalizing Stretching Smoothing Stalling Methods for Avoiding Action

Methods for Avoiding Blame • Buffing • Playing safe • Justifying • Scape-goating • Misrepresenting

Legitimate political behavior consists of normal, every-day politics: forming coalitions bypassing the chain of command complaining to your supervisor developing outside contacts through professional activities Illegitimatepolitical behavior is so extreme that it violates the rules of the game Sabotage whistle-blowing symbolic protests Types of Organizational Politics

Power in Action Legitimate Political Behavior Illegitimate Limited Resources The Reality of Politics Ambiguous Decisions

Political Perspective Explains Organizational Behavior Examples of political organizational behavior • withholding information • restricting output • attempting to “build empires” • publicizing their successes • hiding their failures • distorting performance figures • engaging in similar activities at odds with organization’s goals, efficiency and effectiveness

Ethical Guidelines for Political Behavior Unethical Ethical Question 1 Is the action motivated by self-serving interests which exclude the goals of the organization? Yes Question 3 Is the political activity fair and equitable? Yes No No Unethical Yes Question 2 Does the political action respect individual rights? No Unethical

OD, Power and Politics • OD values consistent with positive face of power • Trust, openness, collaboration, individual dignity, promoting individual and organizational competence • Emphasis on power equalization • Increases power among organizational members the whole organization has more power

OD in Political Environments • Become a desired commodity personally and professionally • High interpersonal competence • Listening, communication, problem-solving, coaching, counseling skills; appreciating other • Make OD a desired commodity • OD allows individuals and organizations to reach their goals

OD in Political Environments • Make OD a valued commodity for multiple powerful people in the organization • Creates value for OD • Increases power base and support • Endorsement, support and protection of OD interventions

OD in Political Environments • Create win-win situations • Enhance stable, constructive social relationships • Different way to handle conflict • Mind you own business (help others solve their major problems) • Help upon request • Help the manager meet her/his goals

OD in Political Environments • Mind your own business—be a process, not content, expert • Mind your own business and don’t invite political trouble • OD practitioner’s role is that of facilitator, catalyst, problem-solver, educator • Role is not power-broker or power activist

The Planner’s Dilemma“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”Machiavelli, The Prince
