Your boss has total control over hiring, firing, and promotions in your department. He has ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Position power identifies how much influence a leader has over such things as hiring, firing, and compensation. Task structure identifies how formalized jobs are, so "high task structure" and "low task structure" can be ruled out because the question involves hiring and firing, not job formalization. Of the two remaining choices, a boss with total control would be said to have high, not low, position power, making "high position power" the correct response and "low position power" incorrect.
