| contents | Office Politics Storm, Paula Kelly, Robert deVries, Susann Politics of Education Personality Traits Work Environment Collegiality Individual Characteristics Extraversion Introversion Organizational Climate People and organizations are inherently political. Library workplace environments have zones of tension and dynamics just like any corporation, often leading to the formation of political camps. These different cliques influence productivity and work-related issues and, at worst, give meetings the feel of the Camp David negotiations. Politics are frequently perceived as being a negative, focusing on destructive tendencies, but they can also be positive or at least neutral. It is possible to engage in office politics to help build understanding and mutual support among colleagues. Being aware of the personalities and how they impact the office environment can be a useful step in the right direction.
