ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the relationship of organizational politics to stress, beginning with a review of research that has investigated how politics relates to stress. As mentioned in Ferris and Treadway’s introduction to this volume in Chapter 1, organizational politics has been defined and operationalized in a variety of ways. This is also the case with research that has investigated how politics relates to work stress because researchers have considered how job stress relates to perceptions of organizational politics political behavior and political skill.
