“…Because those who possess power depend less on the resources of others than vice versa, the powerful are more easily able to satisfy their own needs and desires. In many conceptualizations of power, the capacity to influence and control the behaviors of others is paramount (Copeland, 1994; French & Raven, 1959; Imai, 1993; Manz & Gioia, 1983). This type of power has been called social power because power is derived through one's relationships to others (Fiske, 1993; see Overbeck and Park, 2001, for a distinction between personal power and social power).…”

Three experiments investigated the hypothesis that power increases an action orientation in the power holder, even in contexts where power is not directly experienced. In Experiment 1, participants who possessed structural power in a group task were more likely to take a card in a simulated game of blackjack than those who lacked power. In Experiment 2, participants primed with high power were more likely to act against an annoying stimulus (a fan) in the environment, suggesting that the experience of power leads to the performance of goal-directed behavior. In Experiment 3, priming high power led to action in a social dilemma regardless of whether that action had prosocial or antisocial consequences. The effects of priming power are discussed in relation to the broader literature on conceptual and mind-set priming.

“…Later theorists have further specified that power should be considered the capacity or potential for influence or control (Copeland, 1994;French & Raven, 1959;Imai. 1993;Manz & Gioia, 1983). It is perhaps simplest to think of control and influence as a continuum of "ways to produce change or action in other people," with influence at the weakest end and control at the strongest.…”

To examine whether powerful people fail to individuate the less powerful, the authors assigned participants to either a high-power or low-power role for a computer E-mail role play. In 3 studies, participants in the high-power role made decisions and determined the outcomes of interactions; low-power role players had no power and relied on high-power targets for outcome decisions. Studies I and 2 found that high-power perceivers better individuated low-power targets. Study 3 demonstrated that high-power role players' superior judgment can be impaired by including a task that directs their responsibility toward organizational rather than interpersonal concerns. In all, results suggest that the effect of power on social judgment may be more complex and multifaceted than has previously been acknowledged.

“…Self-leadership is the practice of behavioral understanding, who you are, finding your preferred experiences, and intentionally directing yourself toward desired goals. The term was first developed from organizational management studies by Manz and Gioia (1983) . Later, it was defined as “ comprehensive self-influence perception that directing oneself toward desired achievement by the naturally motivating tasks, also, management of oneself to do work that must be done but it is not motivating naturally ” ( Manz, 1986 ).…”

The worth of women’s entrepreneurship is accepted globally, but there is less focus on it in developing countries, and societal expectations mean women often lack the confidence to start their own business. The core purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of personality traits on women’s inclination toward entrepreneurship. The personality traits are measured through the dimensions of openness, neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. Further, the study introduced the mediator of self-leadership on personality traits and entrepreneurial intentions of women. The study is quantitative in nature and used a questionnaire survey to collect the data by convenience sampling technique. The data was collected in the context of Pakistan, and Smart PLS was chosen for further analysis. The findings revealed the significance of the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the study also highlighted the significance of self-leadership as a mediator and proposed significant relationships. The study suggested that personality issues should be considered and used from a business perspective, and self-leadership is important for women. The study provides room for policymakers and institutes to inform educational policies to motivate women entrepreneurs for the future.
