Abstract

T Job satisfaction is a critical aspect of organizational performance in Ahmedabad's public sector units, directly influencing employee retention, productivity, and overall success. However, the presence of organizational politics introduces complexities that can significantly impact job satisfaction. Organizational politics, characterized by behaviours such as favouritism, manipulation, and power struggles, create an environment of uncertainty and distrust among employees. This study aims to analyse the perception of employees working in public sector units regarding the effect of organizational politics on job satisfaction. Additionally, it seeks to investigate the relationship between demographic profiles of employees and their viewpoints on the impact of organizational politics on job satisfaction. A sample size of 252 employees from the public sector units of Ahmedabad has been selected to ensure the study's validity and reliability. Through a thorough analysis of collected data, this study aims to provide insights into the challenges faced by employees in Ahmedabad's public sector units and identify potential areas for intervention and improvement in organizational practices. By shedding light on the intricate dynamics between organizational politics and job satisfaction, it aims to inform strategies aimed at fostering a positive work environment conducive to employee well-being and organizational success.
