Abstract: Inefficient utilization of human capital in organizations is one of the main factors leading to low productivity among organizations in Israel (Klein, 2017). One of the most promising solutions for preserving human capital at the workplace and increasing productivity is to increase employees’ motivation. This article examines the influence of organizational politics, while focusing on its impact on motivation in public organizations in general and emergency organizations in particular. In addition, this paper presents ways to preserve human capital in public organizations by increasing motivation while neutralizing the negative perception of organizational politics. First, the paper reviews definitions of the key concepts - organizational politics, human capital, and public service motivation. The paper next reviews studies that examined different ways to strengthen motivation in public organizations, including the findings of a study on the influence of organizational politics on motivation. The paper concludes in the presentation of ways by which public service organizations strengthen motivation among their employees in order to preserve their human capital and lead to better and more efficient utilization of the human capital within the organization.
