An Assessment of Positive and Negative Aspects of Organisational Politics: A Systematic Literature Review on Psychological Wellbeing of Employees

Abstract

Organisational politics is a social phenomenon since citizens do not always care about it. Co-workers develop informal alliances and majorities. Work involvement may be seen as a sign of a positive subjective norm that supports management or as a personality trait that hinders organisational goals. This research aims to understand corporate politics’ pros and cons. This research used a systematic literature review. Organisational politics may be excellent or negative, the study found. Poor business elections are hated because of the ethical issues they imply and the worker confrontations they engender. Team member attitudes may be regarded as an indication of subjective solid norm that benefits the corporation or as a personality function that resists organisation's ideals. Contextual performance may help or hinder enterprises and organisations. Total of 20 papers were analysed and out of which 16 reviewed papers were found effective in deriving the analysis that organziational politics has negative impact on the employees performance.  It was found that organizational politics has impact on psychological wellbeing of the employees.
