| Abstract: | The purpose of study was to examine the meaning of the concept "organizational politics" (OP) as it is perceived by members of organizations. 156 employees completed a critical incident scale presenting various combinations of OP definition elements. The results suggest that OP is more highly associated with informal rather than formal or illegal behaviour. Other definition elements such as: power attainment, acting against the organization and concealment of motive are discussed too. The results challenge the structure of most OP definitions offered in the literature by suggesting that employees perceive OP as a set of variables which have complex and flexible interrelationships. |
