1. Tina is the leadership department chair therefore she has legitimate power in her position.

During the meeting she is using information power because she wants the other faculty chair members to be in agreement on a policy about graduate assistants grading objective exams. 2. 2. Carlton, a tenor professor also has legitimate power, during the meeting he is using coercive power trying to get the other chair members not to set a policy. I do not believe the memo was a wise political move for Carlton. It reminds me of a threeyear-old having a temper tantrum for not getting his own way, which is a loss of credibility on his part. In the memo he is using his connection power by stating people he would appeal a policy decision, if it went against his practices as a professor. 3. As Tina, I would bring the memo Carlton sent with me to a meeting with the dean. The dean is part of my network at the school; therefore I would be using the political behavior technique of coalition building because I would not want him to go against the policy. I would have a draft of the policy I wanted to set with me at the meeting also. And no, my answer to C is not influenced by my answer to A. 4. As Carlton, I would continue to defend my position of using graduate assistants to grade objective exams because I know I have the support of other chair members, like Fred Robinson. I think sending the memo was childish and not proper etiquette. Carlton should have talked to each member chairperson one-on-one about his purposes for not wanting a written policy. Having tenure helps me to be more assertive and not to play the reciprocity political behavior game. 5. If a policy was to become effective that graduate assistants could not grade objective exams, as Carlton, I would appeal the decision to the dean stating that it.
