BASIC ELEMENTS OF POWER
Definition of Terms
1. FORCE – it is the actual (physical force) or threatened (latent force) use of coercion to impose
one’s will on others.
2. INFLUENCE – it is the ability to affect the decisions and actions of others.
 3. AUTHORITY – is the right to influence another person

POWER is composed three basic elements namely: force, which can be manifested using
physical/latent force or other instruments to make a person act according to one’s wish; influence,
element affecting the thoughts, behavior, and feelings of another person; & authority, is the element
that gives a person the right over another person.
In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence or control the behavior of people. The
term “authority” is often used for power perceived as legitimate by the social structure. Power can
be seen as unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as endemic to humans as social beings.
The Malacańang Palace symbolizes power where the highest authority of the land resides
“Power is the capacity to impose one’s will on the other by reliance on effective sanctions in case of
non-compliance.” – George Schwarzenbarger
A community in Metro Manila has underwent total lockdown during COVID19 pandemic in which
everyone in the community has to stay home.
In global politics, power includes of a country to conduct its own affairs without the interference of
other countries.
Power is usually thought of as a relationship; that is the ability to influence the behavior of others in
a manner not of their choosing, or power over others.
“Power is the capacity to centralize, regulate or direct the behavior of persons or things.” – Maclver.
Characteristics of Power
1. Power is the capacity to influence the behavior of others - An individual wields power to the
extent he is capable of changing other’s behavior according to one’s wish. Example: A teacher who
inspired his/her unruly student to finally graduate with honors.
2. Power is situational – its function or use depends on situation, circumstances, & position.
Example: A Brgy. Official may use power and authority on his/her constituents but not after his/her
loss in the election.
3. Power depends on its use – it describes how power is being utilized in carrying it out. Example: A
president of a nation who enjoined his/her Arm Forces to execute every criminal without due
process.
4. Power is not absolute – means that power is not fix but dynamic instead. Example: Women
before has no power to vote nor have the same privileges and opportunities as men have.
5. Power has two aspects – Actual & Potential Actual power – refers to the power that a person
currently enjoys. Potential power – refers to the power that a person may enjoy sometime but not
now. Example: a teenager first born son may assume the power as head of the family today in the
absence of his father. But there is also the possibility that he can be the head of a nation someday.
From the different characteristics of power, it is very important to note that power implies
relationship. It is an interaction between two people or among people which necessitate someone,
somebody whom to have power over with. Thus, power is relational in nature.
The Bases of Power
French and Raven described 5 types of power, sometimes referred to as the 5 bases of social
power. Each is described briefly below and then in more detail later.
1. Coercive: here power comes from one’s ability to punish someone else for noncompliance, for
example, through fear of losing their job or their annual bonus.
2. Reward: here power comes from one’s ability to issue rewards, for example, through a bonus or
allowing time off in lieu.
3. Legitimate: here power comes from a person’s formal right to issue directives or commands
because of their position in the organization, for example, the CEO has the right to dictate the
strategy.
4. Expert: here power comes from one’s experience or knowledge, for example, a senior surgeon
displays the expert knowledge for subordinates to trust them.
5. Referent: here power comes from being trusted or respected, for example, the boss who treats
everyone fairly and with respect.
