Regardless of the degree to which employees are made committed to the organization's objectives, there can be a little doubt that, at least occasionally, personal interests will be incongruent with those of the organization. Organizational politics arise when people think differently and want to act differently. The democratic organization seeks to resolve this diversity of interests by asking: "How shall we do it?" By whatever means an organization resolves this diversity, alternative approaches generally hinges on the power relations between the actors involved.
