Abstract

In the preceding chapter we have focused on the Arab executive as a target of social influence and control. We delineated the extent to which social pressures act as constraints on his behaviour, energy and time. Our attention in the present chapter will be on the executive as an organizational leader, viewing him as the prime agent of influence and control within his own organization. The ability as well as the capacity to exert influence and maintain control over the actions of others is one of the more common definitions of the power concept,1 and it is this definition which is used here. In this chapter, we shall be looking at the Arab executive’s use of that power in a very important reality of organizational life: decision making.
