Abstract
The authors present a Polish adaptation of the Misuse of Power (MOP) scale developed by Lee-Chai and Chartrand (2001). This scale measures the tendency to seek benefits when holding power and the beliefs regarding being entitled to do so. Four studies were conducted to determine the reliability and theoretical validity of the tool. Confirmatory factor analysis suggests a good fit of the model tested in the Polish version of MOP (Study 1). The questionnaire also proved to have good reliability indices. Results from the other three studies indicate its theoretical validity. Misuse of power was positively linked with Machiavellianism (Study 2) and external locus control (Study 3), but negatively correlated with satisfaction with material aspects of life and with social relationships (Study 4).
