According to French and Raven, leaders who rely on referent (power based on respect and admiration) and expert (power based on knowledge and competence) have subordinates who are more motivated and satisfied, are absent less, and perform better. Coercive power (power based on punishment or threats) and legitimate power (power based on position or title) may lead to compliance, but not necessarily motivation or satisfaction. The use of reward power (power based on ability to provide benefits or rewards) can be effective, but is not as strongly associated with positive outcomes as referent and expert power.
