Because people are involved and because the organization always fails to live up to its expectations in terms of rationality and objectivity, political behaviours become commonality and objectivity, political behavior become commonplace. Politics may be positive (collaborative) or negative (destructive and competitive) but the fact is that no organization can exist without politics. The main concerns of managers and organization behaviour practitioners is thus how to manage organizational politics to achieve organizational goals and objectives. That is the focus of this paper, which specifically dwells on how the organization and various citizens can cope with the political dynamics in the workplace.
