摘要

最近的社会心理学研究考察了心理权力如何影响组织行为。鉴于组织中的权力通常被视为一种结构结构,我研究了结构权力和心理权力之间的联系,并探讨了它们之间的相互关系如何影响组织行为。我认为心理权力有两种形式:(无意识的)权力认知网络和有意识的权力感。基于这一观点,我确定了两条因果路径,将心理权力和结构权力联系起来,预测组织行为。首先,权力感可能会引起(但不限于)结构性权力持有者的责任感,这反过来又会导致结构性权力持有者对他人的观点和需求做出更积极的反应。其次,当权力感进入意识意识时,会激活权力和代理行为之间的无意识联系,这反过来又会导致结构性权力持有者制定代理行为。我讨论了这些预测与先前理论的不同之处,并讨论了在研究结构力量和心理力量之间关系时所面临的方法论挑战。在这样做的过程中,我认为研究心理权力的主要方法论方法的某些特征可能导致了实证研究结果的偏差,从而模糊了权力和责任之间的关键联系。

When, why, and how do powerholders “feel the power”? Examining the links between structural and psychological power and reviving the connection between power and responsibility

Recent research in social psychology has examined how psychological power affects organizational behaviors. Given that power in organizations is generally viewed as a structural construct, I examine the links between structural and psychological power and explore how their interrelationships affect organizational behavior. I argue that psychological power takes two forms: the (nonconscious) cognitive network for power and the conscious sense of power. Based on this view, I identify two causal pathways that link psychological power and structural power in predicting organizational behavior. First, the sense of power is likely to induce a sense of responsibility among (but not exclusively among) structural powerholders, which in turn leads structural powerholders to be more responsive to the views and needs of others. Second, the sense of power, when brought into conscious awareness, activates a non-conscious association between power and agentic behaviors, which in turn leads structural powerholders to enact agentic behaviors. I discuss the ways in which these predictions diverge from previous theorizing, and I address methodological challenges in examining the relationship between structural and psychological power. In doing so, I suggest that certain features of the predominant methodological approaches to studying psychological power may have induced a bias in the empirical findings that obscures the crucial link between power and responsibility.

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
