TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2015.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Organizational theorists and researchers have been showing increasing interest in the subject of power. Understanding its basis and its mechanisms is important not only theoretically and conceptually, but also on a practical level for managers. Power is a complex and multifaceted concept, as is evidenced by the number of definitions to be found in recent studies. This paper proposes to use mythical references to heroes and hierarchy in order to bring out two essential elements of power in organizations. We will show how these two myths have contributed to the foundation of power, and lend a mythical aspect to some managerial practices.
