Pp. Carson et al., SOCIAL POWER BASES - A METAANALYTIC EXAMINATION OF INTERRELATIONSHIPSAND OUTCOMES, Journal of applied social psychology, 23(14), 1993, pp. 1150-1169
French and Raven (1959) inferred how the existence of social power bas
es influences a subordinate's perception and a leader's use of other p
owers. Based on their propositions, we tested a model using meta-analy
tic correlations as input to structural equations analysis. We also us
ed recent literature to test a revised model, which fit the data bette
r. Additionally, the meta-analytic effects of the social bases of powe
r on satisfaction with supervision, job satisfaction, and performance
were examined.
