Abstract

Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass sich informelle Machtstrukturen in Organisationen anhand einer analogen Systematik konzeptualisieren lassen, wie sie üblicherweise auch der formalen Organisationsgestaltung zugrundeliegt. Mit der Adhärenz- und der Kommunikationsintention werden zwei psychologische Strukturierungsmerkmale herausgearbeitet, die mit den bürokratischen Weisungs- und Kommunikationssystemen der formalen Organisation korrespondieren. Auf ihrer Basis wird ein Strukturmodell der informellen Macht in Organisationen aufgestellt und empirisch überprüft. Die hierzu erforderlichen Skalen wurden in einem Pre-Test mit 104 Studenten entwickelt. Für den finalen Test des Modells wurden 309 Mitarbeiter aus dem administrativen Bereich unterschiedlicher Organisationen befragt.
