Question

Candice uses praise, letters of support, and pats on the back as ways of influencing her subordinates' behaviors. All of these actions are highly valued by the work group. This is an example of __________ .a. coercive power.

b. legitimate power.
c. reward power.
d. expert power.
e. referent power.

Answer 1

c. reward power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reward power is merely a management's power to give an employee some kind of reward as a way of influencing the employee to act.

There may be tangible or intangible incentives.

The crucial difference between such a tangible reward and an intangible reward is that physical things are tangible rewards, while intangible rewards are not physical.

Definitions of tangible rewards involve monetary prizes, increases in wages or salaries, promotions, plaques, awards and gifts.

Candice uses intangible rewards and praise to uplift and influence her employees.
