title: The Development of a Leader Power Inventory.
abstract: The objective of this study was the development of an instrument containing factorially independent subscales for measuring five bases of leader power: coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent. The items for the instrument were selected on the basis of feedback from the Ss and faculty and an iterative process of factor analyses of data from six successive convenience samples and a random sample (N = 1,256). Data on the final instrument from a national random sample of executives (n = 476) and a collegiate sample of employed business students (n = 297) showed that the instrument had adequate reliability and validity and was free from social desirability response set.
