The thoughts of having power and having a purpose in life. The 5 types of power go hand and hand with each other. Rewards, coercive, expert, referent and legitimate. I agree with  McClelland’s need theory that people have three needs in the workplace: need for achievement (nAch), need for affiliation (nAff) and a need for power (nPow). (Lesson 7). I work in a place where this is out of balance and the complaining is so high, people get praised for not having good work ethic.People use their position to get what they want in this work place. It makes it really difficult to work there with a positive attitude. Everyday I handle complaints and field issues because associates don’t do what is needed of the basic job and managers are only as good as their associates.
