Types of Power
Referent Power – Association with others; is when one person has an attraction somehow to the person giving the power. It derives from your subordinates’ identification or association with you. You have this power by simply being "the chief." People identify with the ideals you stand for.
Legitimate – comes from the authority of your rate and position in the chain of command.
Coercive – results from the expectation of a negative reward such as fear and punishment; the supervisor intimidating an employee to do the work or they can be fired or demoted. This can be compared to someone having a power trip complex.
Reward – Ability to grant favors; means an employee believes they are going to get some type of reward for doing their job. The reward could be pay, days off, etc.
