Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that expert and referent powers have a generally positive impact on job performance, job satisfaction, and turnover. Legitimate power also has a positive impact, but the effect is not as strong as that of expert and referent powers. Reward power may have a positive impact on performance but does not necessarily lead to higher job satisfaction or lower turnover. Coercive power typically has a negative impact on both performance and satisfaction, and may increase turnover. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
