The Measurement of Perceived Intraorganizational Power: A Multi-Respondent Perspective
研究发现，通用的部门权力感知测量与特定议题的测量存在显著差异，且不同受访者群体（部门成员、高层管理者、其他部门成员）对权力的感知不同，建议未来研究使用多种测量和多个受访者群体。
This study found substantial divergence between a general measure of perceived departmental power and an issue-specific measure, and indicates a conceptual distinctiveness between these two common perceptual measures. Using the assessments of three different respondent groups allowed for the cross-validation of the power measures while highlighting differences in perceptions based on group membership. The findings of this study raise the possibility that different dimensions of power (enacted versus potential power) are not equally reflected in the two perceptual measures when departmental members and top managers are the groups assessing each sub-unit's power. Measurement distinctiveness was not found to exist when other departments' members evaluated each subunit's power. This investigation suggests that future studies of power would benefit from utilizing more than one perceptual measure and more than one group of respondents.
