[Gamon, Angelica]

*Coercive, political, and extrinsic intersect with one another in many
different ways.  As Hoy and Miskel explain in the text Educational
Administration. Coercive ia a set of procedures that punishes and attempts
to force reluctant subordinates to comply.  Rules and procedures become
substitutes for commitment rather than compliments to it. Instead of giving
committed employees access to accumulated organizational learning and
best-practice guidelines, coercive procedures are designed to force
compliance and extract recalcitrant effort.  In order to get the other
colleagues to comply or have them get motivated to follow through, they
will then use politics to help get them through. Politics is a game that
organizational participants play.  The games are complex, with intricate
and subtle tactics played according to the rules.  Some of the rules are
explicit; others are ever-changing. But the collection of rules, in effect,
defines the games.  First, rules establish position, the paths by which
people gain access to positions, the power of each position, and the action
channels.  Second, rules constrict the range of decisions and actions that
are acceptable. Third, rules can sanction such moves as bargaining,
coalitions, persuasion, deceit, bluff, and threat while making moves
illegal, immoral, or inappropriate.  Some people do not care what they do
to get the end result that they are striving for. Extrinsic is based on
rewards and punishment.  We act to earn a good grade or to get a merit
increase or to get promoted or to avoid a grievance.  We are not interested
in the activity for its own sake, but rather for what the activity will
bring us.  Extrinsic motivation is a behavioral perspective on motivation
because it explains motivation and behavior in terms of rewards and
punishment.  Extrinsic motivation stimulates us to act with incentives and
disincentives.The three items discussed intersect one another to get the
same end goal for each one.  You have to be able to play the game of
politics to get what you want. It can become a game to get the path that
they choose for you.  If your subordinate is asking to do something that
you may or may not agree with, in order for you to gain their “trust” you
do what they ask you to do.  When being coerced a direct or indirect threat
it is made to get you to do what they want.  It is extrinsic, as it uses an
external motivator rather than seeking to really change the person’s mind.
When doing this, it requires you have the power to cause the other person
discomfort. Coercion is promising punishment or discomfort if the request
is not complied with.  This punishment may result in the person disliking
you or even seeking out revenge. Which makes coercion the least desired
method, although it can have immediate obedience.  An example can be, “If
you do not get your grade level on board to use this reading series, I will
make you have recess duty all year.”There was a research done by Lepper,
Greene and Nisbett (1973), they asked two groups of children to do the same
drawing.  One group was promised a medal for their work and the other group
was promised nothing. On a return visit, the groups were given paper and
crayons and what they did was observed.  The group who had been give the
medal for drawing previously spent significantly less time drawing as
compared with the no reward group. With this motivation it usually ends up
with people doing less work in the end.  They have an expectation to get
something in return for doing their work. It turns something that is
pleasurable into work.   *
