Unfairness can be explained by people who work in the factory, where most of the employees are poor.

Unlike the factory, where you can choose to work, there are some unfairness people have to face no matter what. The military of South Korea…

me over" and, "show me..." call to mind an audition. It would surprise no one to hear that between the judges and the auditioning actor there exists a power dynamic. Who would assert that the judges and the actor are coequals when the judges are the gatekeepers to what the actor wants, namely a position in a production? Analogically a similar power dynamic exists in the initial stages of the dating process where a man presents the best of himself to the lady in question in the hope that will…

In our modern society, power is a concept that people dream about having, in different aspects of their lives. Whether it is at work, or simply in front of a group of people, power can show itself under different skins.

Scott in his work Behind the Official Story, a “public transcript,” or “the open interaction between subordinate and dominant” (Scott 2). This is opposed to any interaction that takes place away from the view of dominants, and often amongst those who are of similar…

Introduction This response considers James’ research paper on foundations of organization structure (chapter 16). James’ research paper addressed the two core concepts of authority and chain of command. Strengths James described how organizations that emphasize use of the chain of command and authority, such as the military, use rigid procedures and controls to focus workers (Fischer, n.d., s. 3). Authority is an inherited ability to give orders with an expectation of compliance or…

Officer (CEO) of a company is the “boss” and they are responsible for everything, including the success or failure, of the company. They are in a place of legitimate power, “a place were a person in a higher position has control over people in a lower position in an organization” (Giang ). Without a clear understanding of the power that they hold, they may abuse it.
