Abstract: The objective of this work is to explore the concept of power in Administration. What we are interested in studying is the domination exerted from a dominant position in the organization formally established. In this paper we argue that what defines power is the legality, and what defines authority is legitimacy. In the first place we will have a brief discussion of the distinction between legality and legitimacy, in order to distinguish the concept of power from authority. Then, we analyze the concept of power, distinguishing the power that gives the dominant device from the power established in intersubjective relationships, which are defined as relationships of power. Finally, we perform a conceptual approach of the power in Administration and some criticism inherent to this form of domination.
