QUESTION

Which approach to change relies on interpersonal relationships as the power ingredient?

1. Empirical-rational
2. Technostructural
3. Normative-reeducative
4. Power-coercive

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 3

The normative-reeducative approach is based on the assumption that human motivation depends on the sociocultural norms and the individual’s commitment to these norms. The empirical-rational approach is based on two beliefs; that people are rational, and that they will change if it is in their self-interest. The technostructural strategy alters the technology to access the social structure in groups or alters the social structure to get at technology. With the power-coercive approach, power lies with one or more persons of influence.
