Abstract

Organizational politics, which is typified by power battles, maneuvering, and self-interest, have drawn a lot of attention from the human resource management discipline. The objective of this paper provide an analysis of how organizational politics affect worker productivity. This review examines the numerous facets of organizational politics and their effects on employee attitudes, behaviors, and overall productivity. The analysis demonstrates that employee performance is significantly impacted by organizational politics. Organizational politics encourages the manipulation of information and causes unfair treatment and stress.  It highlights how crucial it is to comprehend how workers view organizational politics and use strategies to reduce these views and improve employee productivity. However, organizational politics is not intrinsically harmful and a moderate amount of it has a favorable impact on individual work performance such as competitive advantage equality among others. Organizational politics is a concept that should be monitored to yield positive outcomes in an organization by increasing productivity.
