Abstract
This article reports research on the extent to
which managers exercise both competitive
and collective power with bosses, peers, and
subordinates and the extent to which this exercise is related to organizational factors
such as resource availability, normative structures, and organizational form (Type
A or Type Z). Based on data from a survey of
350 managers from three levels of management in two businesses and two universities, the author finds that managers
exercise both collective and competitive power in these organizations, in all role relationships, and that the type of power
exercised is associated with resource
availability and organizational form.
