Preferred term

organizational politics  

Definition

  • The term organizational politics refers to the informal ways people try to exercise influence in organizations through the management of shared meaning. As such, politics should be viewed as neither an inherently bad nor good phenomenon but rather one to be observed, analyzed, and comprehended to gain a more informed understanding of organizations and how they operate. [Source: Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology; Organizational Politics]
