Notes de l'éditeur
- 1. Formal Authority: Formal authority is derived from an individual's position or role within a formal organizational structure. It is the power that comes with a designated title or position. For example, a CEO has formal authority over their company and can make decisions and give orders to employees based on their position of authority. 2. Expert Authority: Expert authority is based on an individual's knowledge, skills, or expertise in a particular area. It is derived from the recognition of one's expertise by others. For instance, a renowned scientist may have expert authority in their field, and their opinions and recommendations are highly valued and respected by their peers. 3. Reward Authority: Reward authority stems from an individual's ability to provide rewards or incentives to others. It involves the power to offer positive reinforcements or benefits to influence others' behavior. For example, a manager who can grant salary increases, bonuses, or promotions has reward authority and can motivate employees through these rewards. 4. Coercive Authority: Coercive authority is based on the ability to administer punishments or negative consequences. It relies on fear or the threat of punishment to influence others' behavior. An example of coercive authority is a police officer who can enforce the law and issue penalties or fines for violations. 5. Charismatic Authority: Charismatic authority is derived from an individual's personality, charm, or exceptional qualities that inspire others. It is based on the personal magnetism or charisma of the individual, which attracts followers. A famous example of charismatic authority is Martin Luther King Jr., whose powerful speeches and leadership inspired a mass movement during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. 6. Referent Authority: Referent authority is based on an individual's personal characteristics or qualities that make them likable or respected by others. It is derived from the admiration, trust, or identification that others have with the person. An example of referent authority is a popular celebrity who has a large fan base and can influence their followers' opinions or behaviors. 7. Legal Authority: Legal authority is derived from the system of laws and regulations in a society. It is based on the recognition and acceptance of authority granted by the legal system. For example, a judge has legal authority to interpret and apply the law within a court, and their decisions are binding and enforceable. These different types of authority can coexist or overlap in various situations, and individuals may exercise multiple forms of authority depending on the context.
