    Solution

    The power used by a manager who forces employees to work and threatens them with punishment for non-compliance is referred to as "coercive power". Coercive power is a type of negative power that relies on the ability to punish or control others through threats or actual application of punishment. While this approach can be effective in some situations, it is generally not a desirable approach to management as it can lead to low morale, high turnover, and a lack of commitment among employees.
