Abstract

Employees have different gratification about their career in different organizational sectors. The aim of this study is to explore the differences in career gratification of public and private sector’s. To probe this manager’s reward, coercive, legitimate, expert, and referent powers were considered as self-governing variable while the contact of these powers was taken as dependent variable in both sectors. A total number of 130 questionnaires were distributed to the faculty (Principals, directors, lecturers, professors and associate professors) and non-faculty (administration staff) members employed in public and private sector universities and colleges of district D.G Khan. Results show that supervisor may have dissimilar type of powers available in different sectors to use, a manager/supervisor in civil services or government agencies will use little or no reward and coercive power, but he will be more dependent on legitimate power and referent power. Whereas in private, profit-making organization, supervisor is free to exercise any type of power. Suggestions for future research, implications for managers and limitations of study are discussed.
