Sal was recently promoted at work and was having a difficult time with several staff members who seemed to just do the work the way they wanted to rather than the way in which Sal asked them to. Finally, Sal called a conference and told everyone in the department that all work would be done his way, period. What power base did Sal rely on here?

    Legitimate power

    Explanation:

    The legitimate power is based on the authority that someone has to give instructions and orders to others; the base of this kind of power is a title or higher position, however, if the person loses his title the legitimate power is lost.

    The difference between coercitive power and legitimate power is that the person who practices the coercitive power punishes the behavior that goes against his orders,

    During a job a person can receive an order and being threatened with getting fired or a salary reduction.
