hospital settings. Other people play the game of “face time”—spending more time at work
and showing that they are working productively.

60
Q

Individuals and work units are more powerful when they are nonsubstitutable. Employees,
work units, and organizations reduce substitutability by controlling tasks, knowledge, and
labor, by differentiating themselves from competitors, and by developing a personal brand—
a unique combination of knowledge, skills, and experience that are valuable to
current or prospective employers.
A second contingency is centrality. People have more power when they have high
centrality, which means that many people are quickly affected by their actions. The third
contingency, visibility, refers to the idea that power increases to the extent that a person’s or
work unit’s competencies are known to others. Discretion, the fourth contingency of power,
refers to the freedom to exercise judgment. Power increases when people have the freedom to
use their power.
