摘要:

组织中的权力是指个体或组织利用资源来实现特定目标的能力, 它存在于关系之中。组织中的权力可分为个人权力和职位权力, 两者对组织的影响并不相同; 同时, 虽然权力与地位同为组织的两个相似基本要素, 但两者概念有所区别且对组织影响也不相同。权力对组织同时具有消极、中性及积极的影响, 并可以通过三种理论进行解释。分析权力为何会对组织产生不同的影响, 存在着5种可能的原因:(1)组织制度、(2)组织文化、(3)组织层级的不稳定、(4)组织间竞争、及(5)权力动机。未来, 组织中权力的研究可以从以下三个方面推进:(1)关注归属感对组织中权力的影响, (2)关注问责对组织中权力的影响, 和(3)关注组织中权力的跨关系一致性。

关键词: 权力, 地位, 组织情境, 权力理论, 权力效应

Abstract:

Power in organization is defined as the capacity to achieve the specific goals by using resources and it exists in the human relationship. Power in organization can be classified as positional power and personal power, which have different impacts on organization. Although both power and status are basic elements of organization, they are different constructs and have different effects. Power may have negative, neutral and positive effects on organization, which can be explained by three theories. To analysis why power can have different effects, there are five reasons, which include 1) organization system, 2) organizational culture, 3) instability within organization hierarchy, 4) intergroup competition, and 5) power-related motives. Further research on power in organization can be improved in the following aspects, including 1) considering the effect of belongingness on power, 2) considering how accountability moderates power effects, 3) considering the cross-relationship effects of power in the organization.

Key words: power, status, organizational situation, theory of power, effect of power
