Abstract: Doctoral thesis CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEFINITION OF POWER TYPES AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THESE ONES AND THE ORGANISATIONS′ PERFORMANCE by Eng. Elena Fleaca Abstract The complex configuration of power offers an interesting framework in which to study the influence processes used by managers in their practice. Therefore, based on a documented research in the scientific literature, it has been proposed a systemic model for power configuration with inputs, transformation process, and outputs that help managers to better understand and apply the power and influence concepts to achieve the organizations’ goals. As project management takes on special importance in today′s environment and it is rapidly becoming a standard of doing business, the applicative part of the doctoral thesis has been focused on studying the validity of the proposed model within the project management framework. It is well known that due to the interdisciplinary nature of the projects the most challenging issue that Project Managers are dealing with is the following paradox: whole responsibility for project success and lack of formal power. Taking into account these aspects, the applicative research was designed to explore the possible relationships between the usage of different sources of power and influence tactics, and the Project Managers' performance. The research objective was consisted of assessing the relationships between inputs – power factors and organizational influences –, influence process – manifested through tools (e.g. power bases) and techniques (e.g. influence tactics)-, and outputs – respectively, the projects′ success. Finally, based on the research results, it has been shared the findings regarding how exercising power are shaped by the cultural values, taking into account the Romanian employees' cultural values, as well. The conclusions are useful aids in understanding the managerial practices in order to contribute to the project management knowledge base.
