Abstract: The concept of organizational politics has come a long way to become one of the key factors in an organization's success. Albeit organizational politics is frequently studied by academics and practitioners, the idea generation and research framework have remained scattered and fragmented because no systematic effort has been made to understand the underlying concept of organizational politics. Therefore, a bibliometric examination of published work on organizational politics was warranted for further development of knowledge in the terrain. Hinging on published research studies on organizational politics, the current study aims to push back the frontiers of the literature by highlighting known and unknown areas and the most recent trends in organizational politics. The study analyses the data in terms of authors, universities, most cited articles, and the citing papers between 2010 and 2021. En masse, 377 research papers met the number of criteria set out. VOS viewer software was employed to carry out the analysis. The results of the study disclose a raising tendency in the field of organizational politics and highlight the most cited and prominent researchers in the field. Among the research published in the Scopus-indexed journals, the United States is the dominant country in the publications than other countries such as Germany, Israel, Turkey, Sweden, Greece Pakistan, Indonesia, and India. The study surely becomes a significant breakthrough for future research studies.
