This study examines supervisory support and organizational politics as a determinant of commitment among employees. A critical review of previous literature on organizational politics revealed that the quest for equality, promotion and power tussle in organizations remains the major factors that results to politics in workplace. Organizational politics has detrimental effects on supervisory support, since it has been concluded that organizational politics is a counter-productive work behaviour and it has to be minimize.
A simple random sampling technique was used, two hundred and forty (240) questionnaires were distributed while two hundred and thirty three (233) were returned. Relevant data was collected through primary and secondary sources. Research findings were presented and analyzed using simple percentage/frequency table analysis, while the hypothesis was tested using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation, with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS).
Based on the findings, management should come up with developmental opportunities in form of workshops to enlighten the employees on how to perform and work in the organization, management should provide useful information to supervisor to help expand employees commitment at work and also reduce politics in the organization.
