Rylee Proctor · Answer 1

Jonathan uses coercive power.

Explanation:

There will be an order that will be posed by a manager. He will then threaten the subordinates to comply with that order. He also threatens his employees that if they didn't obey his order and follow it, they will be punished in any way, say for an instance he will terminate his employees or he may be demoted. This ability of the manager to make the sub ordinates to comply with his order is known as the coercive power.

In this type of power exertion, the managers will threaten the employees to obey the order rather than persuading them to act. It will not be effective if the manager fails to act on the punishment when the employees did not obey his rules. It may also affect many productive employees.
