What is a source of reward power?

  1. Ability to give something of value

  2. Ability to take away something of value

  3. Personal characteristics

  4. Analysis of stakeholders

The correct answer is: Ability to give something of value

One source of reward power is having the ability to give something of value. This means that the person in a position of power can use tangible or intangible rewards to influence others' behavior. For example, a manager may offer a bonus to an employee who goes above and beyond in their work. Option B is incorrect because taking away something of value, or exercising punishment, is a source of coercive power rather than reward power. Option C, personal characteristics, such as charisma or intelligence, may contribute to a person's overall power and influence, but it is not specifically related to reward power. Option D, analysis of stakeholders, is not relevant to the concept of reward power.
