Abstract
The existing literature attributes organizational politics (OP) to behavioral and structural factors. This attribution suggests that OP originates at the level of individuals or groups and sometimes from structural ambiguity, and the organizational processes become a platform for political activities. The present paper argues that the root causes of political behavior are not adequately explained, and proposes that economic and institutional factors play a key role in generating OP. Further, organizations, as political entities, engender to a sense of entitlement and rights among their employees; that such rights and entitlements (or the perception of it) are embedded in the organization’s power structure; the origins of which can be found in the political roots of organizations.
