Abstract(s)

Today, it is widely accepted that politics is an unavoidable dimension of organizational dynamics, exerting a substantial impact on a diversity of factors and targets. This chapter, which covers some of the main theoretical and empirical frameworks that cut across the study of politics in organizations, aims to review the literature on the subject, analyzing the main theoretical perspectives and lines of research that politics has concurred around, as well as making a broad discussion about the different colorings that the effects of politics can have in an organizational context. With this literature review, we hope to give a more balanced view of a dimension that, for years, has been considered the perverse backstage of organizations and the dark side of organizational behavior.
