Authority-
• Authority is the right to give orders and exact obedience. Authority is
formally granted or provided to a particular position in an organization. It
includes the right to take decisions and get them executed from
subordinates.
• There are limits on every authority. It is not unlimited in nature.
• Authority is legitimate and legal as it is provided formally by the organization
to positions.
Kinds of authority-
1. Rational legal authority- legal authority is derived by a position holder from
rules, regulations, policies and norms laid down for systematic functioning of
an organization. It is officially provided by the organization to a position
holder and rests with the position and not the person. Whoever occupies
that position gains authority over his subordinates. For example, the position
of Chief Minister of a state provides authority. Any person occupying that
position is legally provided authority over others.
2. Traditional authority- authority that rests with a person due to a position that
is traditionally recognized is called as traditional authority. For example,
authority given to a royal family in a state is traditional authority.
3. Charismatic authority- this kind of authority is generated due to charisma or
exceptional power resting within a person. For example, Mahatma Gandhi
did not have any formal authority over Indian followers. His charisma made
him the leader of national movement.
Sources of authority-
1. Formal authority theory- According to this theory, authority originates at the
top of the organization and flows downward through delegation.

Power:
Power can be defined as the capacity and ability to exert influence over others. If a
person has power, it means he is able to influence behavior of other individuals.
While authority provides right to a position to get the work done from others, power
provides capacity to influence others at a personal level.
Sources of Power-
1. Coercive power- based on influencer’s ability to punish the other person for
not obeying orders.
2. Legitimate power- based on formal rights one receives as a result of holding a
position in an organization. It is also called as positional power
3. Expert power- based on special expertise or knowledge of the influencer.
