Abstract: In the examination of
organizational behavior, organizational politics has assumed
a new form and significance. During the exploration of
organizational behavior, the phenomenon of organizational
politics emerged as significant and essential, with much
research conducted by contemporary scholars. The majority of
the research focused on organizational politics in relation
to job commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational
culture. Organizational scientists have articulated several
interpretations of the term "organizational politics,"
resulting in conflicting perspectives and a lack of consensus
among scholars about the word. The proposed definition of the
phenomenon might be categorized in various ways. The
researchers focus solely on the political aspect, neglecting
the genuine divination. The study comprised a sample size of
145 participants. This encompasses personnel of various
hierarchical levels. Stratified random sampling employed as
the sample method, and linear regression utilized as the
statistical tool. The investigation concludes that
organizational politics significantly correlates with job
performance. Nonetheless, this relationship is weak yet
substantial. This indicates the influence of one variable on
another. Organizational politics adversely affect job
performance, leading people to disengage from their work, as
their primary interests do not align with their job
responsibilities.
