Reward power relies upon persuading others based upon giving them some form of reward. It is most appropriately used when:

A. a team member performs well.

B. when working with project sponsors.

C. others respect the project manager's opinion and expertise.

D. a team member is not performing

The correct answer is A. a team member performs well.

Explanation:

The power of reward arises from the ability of a person to influence the allocation of incentives in an organization. These incentives include salary increases, positive evaluations and promotions. In an organization, people who exercise the power of reward tend to influence the actions of other employees. Reward power, if used well, motivates employees. But if applied through favoritism, power can demoralize employees and decrease their production.
