I'm doing an Organizational Behavior on office politics but I could not find much information on the internet.

February 2005, Article 8

Dear Office-Politics,

Hi, I'm doing an Organizational Behavior on office politics but I could not find much information on the internet. The topic goes like that: "Why is office politics often feared? Is there a positive dimension to office politics? Suggest how office politics can be used productively? I really need some help on this topic, do you think you can help? would deeply appreciate.

Yours sincerely,

Student



Dear Student,

It sounds like you want me to write your essay for you?! Hmmm... I wonder what your teacher would think of me spoon-feeding the answers to you? The whole www.officepolitics.com site is a wealth of research material. Use it! All of the questions you asked can be answered if you take the time to read a fraction of the letters that have been sent in. It's a good exercise in thinking, and something your teacher would want you to do.
