BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: Martin George is the vice-president of finance for Rutherford Inc. His position and title in the company give him ___________ power.
Option 1: 'diplomatic' power. Diplomatic power would relate to skills in negotiation, mediation, and maintaining relationships, but it is not the formal basis tied to a specific job title or hierarchy within an organization. This choice misattributes a relational skill as a formal power source.
Option 2: 'collaborative' power. Collaboration describes a mode of working with others and may enhance influence, but it is not a recognized category of power derived from formal authority or position. It focuses more on process than on the source of authority itself.
Option 3: 'substitutable' power. Substitutability refers to whether an individual’s role or skills can be replaced easily by others. While low substitutability can contribute to power, the term by itself does not capture the organizational basis of power conferred by a formal title.
Option 4: 'legitimate' power. Legitimate power is the type of authority that comes from one’s formal position within an organization. As vice-president of finance, Martin has authority that is granted by the organizational structure and perceived as rightful by others in the organization, which aligns precisely with legitimate power.
Option 5: 'referent' power. Referent power arises from personal characteristics that others admire or identify with, such as charisma or likability. It is not derived from the formal title or positional authority, so it does not match the description of Martin’s role as a titled executive.
In evaluating these options, the key distinction is between power that stems from a formal position (legitimate) versus power that comes from interpersonal traits or alternative sources (diplomatic, collaborative, substitutable, referent). Since the question ties power to the existence of a job title and organizational role, the legitimate basis is the most appropriate characterization of Martin’s power in this scenario. It reflects authority granted by the company’s structure and accepted by others because of the position he holds.
