Social power involves the potential to influence others and is important in every human relationship. This paper reviews more of 50 years of research inspired by French and Raven’s Interpersonal Power Interactional Model (IPIM), a general theory of social power. The original French and Raven (1959) bases of power model posited six bases of power; reward, coercion, legitimate, expert, referent, and informational (or persuasion; Raven, 1965). Since then, as the result of considerable research, the model has gone through significant developments and now has eleven. This article analyze the dynamics involved in the power relationship and the central role of scale of Interpersonal Power Inventory (IPI) one of the most powerful predictors of interpersonal power, finally analyzes some of the most important theoretical questions posed by IPIM theory.

Keywords: Power Interactional Model IPIM, Interpersonal Power Inventory IPI, Power Bases, leadership, compliance, interpersonal influence.
