Relationships of Leader Power to Compliance and Satisfaction with Supervision: Evidence from a National Sample of Managers
基于476名经理的全国随机样本，研究了强制、奖赏、合法、专家和参照五种权力基础对员工服从上级意愿和监督满意度的影响，发现专家和参照权力与两者正相关，合法权力与服从正相关但与满意度负相关。
This study investigated the effectiveness of the bases of leader power, such as coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent in influencing behavioral compliance with superior's wishes and satisfaction with supervision. Regression analyses of data from a national random sample of managers (N = 476), after demographic, job-related, and other extraneous variables were controlled for, showed that expert and referent power bases were positively associated with compliance and satisfaction and legitimate power base was positively associated with compliance but negatively associated with satisfaction.
