Explanation / Answer

42. Since your superior is giving you a raise in return of the additional work he has asked you to perform, therefore, this is the reward that you would be getting for going beyond your work hours. Hence, your superior in this case is exercising reward power.

43. The power that the college dean has been granted over the faculty is positional power because he would be using his position as a superior to exercise any power over the faculty.

44. Most of us follow our doctor's advice because he is an expert in his subject and knows what he is doing by virtue of the degree he has earned. Hence, he has expert power.

45. Coercive power is most likely to be negatively related to employee satisfaction and committment because by forcing the employees to do something, you would be making the employees unhappy.

46. Irma's intention in this case is accomodating because she understands that the majority in the team are ok with the operating procedures and working in a team requires accomodating others opinion as well rather than just going with your own.
