Indhold

Office politics, known also as organisational politics, can be defined as covert, informal, unofficial, behind-the-scenes actions, processes, and disingenuous behaviour. It is engaged in to enhance professional careers, sell ideas, influence events, acquire power and authority, achieve personal aims and maximise self-interest often at the expense of others. It is self-serving behaviour, arising from competition to get more than your fair share of scarce resources.
