Personalized and Socialized Need for Power: Scale Construction and Validation
… 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 …
