Zusammenfassung:Social power is critical for superior-subordinate relationship to deliver desirable outcomes. This empirical study examines the power interaction framework in the Indian context by analysing responses of 428 lower- and middle-level executives from 19 organisations through an investigation of the effectiveness of superior's bases of power on the subordinates' willingness to comply. Multivariate analyses revealed that subordinates' compliance with soft bases of power had higher effect than with harsh bases of power on their satisfaction and commitment with superior and global influence of superior on subordinate. The study identifies the moderating role of quality of interaction in the relationship between bases of power and compliance and subordinates' attitude towards superiors. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
