For instance, seeing a non-performing employee getting the best employee award just because
2:59
S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 4_week 12_seq 6_Effect of organisational Politics _Pandian)
he is close to the senior manager and him getting the acknowledgement for the work that was done

by someone else.

your deepest secrets and feel safe doing so.

because of organizational politics, it results in stress and anxiety.

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 4_week 12_seq 6_Effect of organisational Politics _Pandian)
Wrongful information.
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 4_week 12_seq 6_Effect of organisational Politics _Pandian)
An essential effect of corporate politics is that wrong information is positive from one person to another
3:50

even reward.
4:13
S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 4_week 12_seq 6_Effect of organisational Politics _Pandian)
The flow of wrongful information is a fact about office politics that you have to leave with.
