Need for power (within an organization)

Need to exercise influence and control over others in order to pursue personal goals and/or achieve predefined objectives. Within an organization, people who feel this need also tend to have a strong impact on decision-making, activities and processes, using the conditions of superiority (guidance, authority, command) at their disposal (due to hierarchical level, seniority, various resources, etc.). Most often, it manifests as the need for personal power or the need for social power.
