title: Organizational politics and nursing administration.
abstract: When attempts are made to improve organizational performance, both rational and emotional factors will have to be recognized. One of the important emotional factors is the tendency of people to behave politically while they are carrying out their assigned duties. The meaning and importance of organizational politics is discussed, and several typical reactions of nurse administrators to organizational politics are examined. Practical suggestions are made to help nurse administrators develop greater political sensitivity and deal effectively with political behavior.
