While politics are known to be prevalent at managerial levels, there is currently little insight into what drives strategists to engage in organizational politics and whether there are power base differences in this respect. In the current study we explore the concept of political micro- foundations of strategic management. We identify key dimensions of organizational politics will consist of positive and negative politics. Then, we describe four roles of strategist in positive organizational politics archetypes context: planning, learning, improvising, and entrepreneurial. The paper ends with the discussion of the main findings and their implications for future research and practice. (original abstract)

Podczas gdy politykowanie jest powszechnie uznawane za proces występujący na różnych poziomach zarządzania, niewiele aktualnie wiadomo na temat zarówno czynników powodujących zaangażowanie strategów, jak i różnic w źródłach władzy rozpatrywanych z tego punktu wiedzenia. W niniejszym studium wyjaśniamy koncepcję politycznych mikropodstaw zarządzania strategicznego. Zidentyfikowaliśmy kluczowe wymiary politykowania organizacyjnego, a mianowicie stronę pozytywną i stronę negatywną. Scharakteryzowaliśmy również cztery role stratega z punktu wiedzenia archetypów pozytywnego politykowania organizacyjnego: planistyczną, uczenia się, improwizowania i przedsiębiorczą. Opracowanie zakończono dyskusją dotyczącą głównych wniosków, a także pożądanymi kierunkami przyszłych badań oraz wskazówkami praktycznymi. (abstrakt oryginalny)
