The Manager as a Source of Departmental Power in a Manufacturing Company

Nasif, Ercan G. (Ercan Gultekin) 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between position-related sources of power and person-related sources of power in organizations. The subject is the power of an organizational sub-unit compared to other units. Theory on the structural sources of power is well established in the literature. The question in this study is whether the individual manager, the person, is another major source of power for the organizational unit. A major objective of the study is to fill this gap in the literature on power in organizations. A secondary objective of this study is to see if one can rank the individual position-related sources of power and person-related sources of power, identified through a literature review, within each group in terms of their relative importance. The type of this study is exploratory. It is a descriptive study explaining the "what is" about the relationship between position and person sources of power in a manufacturing company. Results indicate that there is a two-way relationship between manager power and department power, and that one can rank order the sources of power in terms of their contribution to a department's or manager's power. Power is defined in this study as the ability to get things done.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Adriana Aurea Santiago Beltrao.pdf: 926958 bytes, checksum: c457eb59f4f5fac0bd0a2edeb3a9d01e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-01-27 / Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa / This thesis aims at examining the use of the budget as an instrument of exercising power and identify within the typology proposed by Galbraith (1986) as forms of power are being used in budgetary control in the company ISS TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OFF ENERGY. As specific objectives, this study seeks to identify among these variables that related to the budget, linking variables with Galbraith's typology (1986), identifying the sources of power prevalent in the organization and the perception of the actors involved in the budgeting process in relation to the exercise power used by the organization. Was established three propositions the first aimed to identify whether the budget control is used on the ISS as a tool for exercising power, the second to verify that the three ways of exercising power typified by Galbraith (1986) namely: Condign Power, Compensatory Power and Conditioned Power coexist in the budget control of the ISS and the third proposition that the Power Compensatory is the power that prevails in the budgetary control of the ISS. The research methodology adopted was the single case study with the use of questionnaire, interview and direct observation. The questionnaires were completed by 45 employees, interviews were conducted with five managers directly linked to the budget and direct observation by the researcher. The study findings show that the predominant power, the power was conditioned with 41% of total variance explained, the second of found is the Compensatory Power with 19% total variance explained, the Condign Power have 7% total variance explained and also coexists in ISS. The results have limitations as the inability to generalize the results because it is a research based on a single case study, so that the results are relevant only to the organization in question. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo, analisar o uso do orçamento como instrumento de exercício de poder e identificar, dentro da tipologia proposta por Galbraith (1986) como as formas de poder estão sendo utilizadas no controle orçamentário na empresa ISS TRANSMISSÃO E DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE ENERGIA. Como objetivos específicos, este estudo busca identificar dentre as ínumeras variáveis aquelas relacionadas ao orçamento,relacionando as variáveis com a tipologia proposta por Galbraith (1986), identificando as fontes de poder predominantes na organização e a percepção dos atores envolvidos no processo orçamentário em relação as formas de exercício de poder utilizadas pela organização. Foram estabelecidas três proposições: a primeira com o objetivo de identificar se o controle orçamentário é utilizado na ISS como um instrumento para o exercício de poder; a segunda para verificar se as três formas de exercício de poder tipificadas por Galbraith (1986) a saber: o poder condigno, o poder compensatório e o poder condicionado, coexistem no controle orçamentário da ISS; e a terceira proposição tem o objetivo de verificar se o poder compensatório é a forma de poder que predomina no controle orçamentário da ISS. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada foi o estudo de caso único com a aplicação de questionário, totalizando 18 questões, os dados foram tratados através das entrevistas, observação direta e da análise fatorial. Os questionários foram respondidos por 45 funcionários, as entrevistas foram realizadas com 5 gestores diretamente ligado ao orçamento e a observação direta realizada pelo pesquisador. Os achados do estudo evidenciam que o poder predominante, é o poder condicionado ao contrário do que se esperava com 41 % da variância total explicada e com a maior carga de fatores significativas, a segunda fonte de poder encontrada é o poder compensatório com 19 % variância total explicada e o poder condigno com 7 % variância total explicada também coexiste na ISS. Os resultados encontrados apresentam limitações quanto a impossibilidade de generalização dos resultados obtidos, pois trata-se de uma pesquisa baseada em um estudo de caso único, fazendo com que os resultados encontrados sejam relevantes somente para a empresa em questão.
