Sažetak
Power motive, a tendency to influence, direct and guide others, is personality characteristic essential for success in organizational leadership. Considering the motive is largely rooted in unconscious/implicit personality system, it needs to be measured through indirect approaches. In this paper, we report the results of three interrelated studies that tested the validity of one such approach - the Conditional Reasoning Test for Power Motive (CRT-P). In Study 1, on a sample of psychology students (n1 =75), we showed the CRT-P correlated with Implicit Association Test for Power Motive but not with self-reported dominance. Additional data collected on samples of employees (n2 = 185 in Study 2, and n3 = 160 in Study 3) revealed that CRT-P scores predicted occupancy of a management position. In sum, our studies indicated that the CRT-P seems to be a valid measure of implicit power motive, potentially useful for scientific and practical purposes.
