Therefore, it is better to entitle it as “perceived organizational politics” rather than “organizational politics” (Ferris, Russ, & Fandt, 1989). Perceived organizational politics is defined as a strategic action taken by an individual within an organization that will result in long-term or short-term personal gain at the expense of others (Ferris et al., 1989). The major objective of the study was to identify the impact of perceived organizational politics on job satisfaction.When organizational politics is viewed from the side of employees, it often takes a negative form and has been found to be a negative variable at workplace and is termed as perceived organizational politics (POP).enPERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL POLITICSINTUITIVE CONCEPTThesis
