And at the end of the section we have a question does power corrupts me power provides some benefits for those who have it's in comparison to those with less power. People who have more power over others are more competent and more attuned to potential opportunities in their environments. According to understand and briga. They're also more likely than are people with a less power to take action to meet their goals. Despite these advantages, or having power, a little power goes a long way and having too much can be dangerous. For both the targets have the power and the power holder himself or herself.

In an experiment by David kipnis. College students played the role of supervisors who were supposedly working on a cast with other students, which are the workers. According to random assignment to experimental conditions. One half of the supervisors were able to influence workers through legitimate power only by sending them messages. Attempting to persuade them to work harder. The other half of the supervisors work even increased power.

In addition to being able to proceed workers to increase their output, domestic judges, they were also given both through word power, which is the ability to give small monetary rewards and coercive power, the ability to take away earlier reward. Although the workers who are actually pre programmed perform equally well in both conditions, the participants who are given more power took advantage of a two by more frequently contacting the workers in more frequently threatening them. The students in this condition relied almost exclusively on coercive power rather than attempting to use their legitimate power to develop positive relations with the subordinates. Although it didn't increase the workers performance, having the extra power had a negative effect on the power holders images or the workers at the end. of this study, the supervisors who had been given extra power graded the workers more negatively, were less interested in making them and felt the data The only reason the workers did well was to paint their wards.

The conclusion of these researchers is clear. Having power may lead people to use it even though it may not be necessary, which may then lead them to believe that their subordinates are performing only because of the threat. Although using excess power may be successful in the short run power that is based exclusively on reward and corrosion is not likely to produce a positive environment or either the power holder or the subordinate. People with power may also be more likely to stereotype people with less power than they have, and they may be less likely to help other people who are in need. Although this research suggests that people may use power when it is available to them. Other research has found that this is not equally true for Oprah People feel another case of a person situation interaction.

Serena Chen and her colleagues found that students who had been classified is more self oriented in the sense that they consider relationships in terms of what they could and should get out of them for themselves were were more likely to miss misuse their power, whereas students who were classified as author oriented were more likely to use their power to help others.
