dc.description.abstractThis present study developed psychometrically sound measures of personalized need for Power (nPower) and socialized nPower, and examined the nomological network around these two constructs, by determining the antecedents and consequences of these two sides of nPower. High scores on personalized nPower indicate a high desire to influence others for self-serving means. Conversely, high scores on socialized nPower indicate a high desire to influence others for prosocial, other-serving means. Study 1 focused on item generation and content validation with SMEs. Study 2 focused on refining the final 18-item measure and testing the hypothesized factor structure among a sample of 206 full-time employees spanning various organizations and industries. Overall, the present research suggests that personalized and socialized nPower have factor structures consistent with theory, generates reliable data, is a valid measure, and both nPowers correlate meaningfully with a number of traits (e.g., Honesty Humility) as well as outcomes (i.e., Impression Management).en_US
