Abstract
The two first experiments in this study tested the prediction that power instability,

as well as climate, affects advice taking. More specific that unstable power

holders incorporate advice to a lower degree than stable power holders, and that

individuals in a competitive climate incorporate advice to a lower degree than

those in a cooperative climate. Further, the proposition that the climate,

cooperative and competitive, would moderate the relationship between power

instability and advice taking, was examined. The third experiment tested the

prediction that unstable power holders seek advice to a lower degree than stable

power holders. Experiment 1 confirmed that a competitive climate reduces the

degree of advice taking for individuals with stable power. Those with unstable

power position was indifferent to the type of climate and discounted the advice to

an equal extend, regardless if the advice was given in a cooperative or competitive

climate. Experiment 2 show that knowledge of the competent subordinate reduces

the feeling of competition. However, advice is still discounted by individuals both

in the competitive climate, and with unstable power position. Experiment 3

highlights that both stable and unstable powerholders seek advice from a

competent subordinate to a large degree. Theoretical and practical implications are

discussed.
