8.Which of the following writers is not a member of the school of management thought to which the others belong?

答案:
7.B
Rationale:Position power is legitimate organisational authority,by virtue of a position in the organisation hierarchy:managers depend largely on it for their influence.Leaders are often required to exercise informal,interpersonal forms of influence,such as person power(charisma,inspiration)and expert power(valued knowledge).Physical power(intimidation)should be used by neither managers nor leaders!Pitfalls:the classifications of power are a rich source of related terminology,and hence a potential source both of confusion and of exam questions!
8.A
Rationale:Frederick Taylor is associated with scientific management.The other writers are associated with the human relations school,focusing on the role of'higher order'needs(such as challenge and interest in the work)in human motivation.Ways in:You could halve your options by realising that Maslow and Herzberg belong to the same school:therefore the'odd one out'must be one of the other two.
