Assignment:
Create a 4 page:
At any time in your career, have you observed a political situation that went against the organization's ethical standards, creating a toxic environment? A political culture could be nepotism, favoritism, backdoor hiring, political hacks, blackmail, race, gender, envy, and etcetera. Political behavior does not change with the times, it is what it is. It is like a revolving door or a carrousel analogy as it is a never-ending journey of people constantly going through the doors or jumping on for the ride.
"A concept which is closely related to power and authority in organizational settings is politics or political behaviour. Politics are often viewed as synonymous with dirty tricks or back-stabbing and as something distasteful" (Pheng & May, 1997, p. 161).
Explain how you would survive in a toxic organizational environment in which the following issues are present within the organization. More specifically, how would you survive with each of the five factors encountered:
Major communication problems
Inconsistency of individuals not following policies
Narcissistic and toxic leaders
Disgruntlement regarding the political culture mentioned above
Physical and emotional health effects
Assignment will require a brief background introduction of a possible workplace without giving the actual name. This will set the stage of the paper. You will then need a short conclusion based on why you would stay or leave this organization.
