Abstract

This study aimed to identify the level of organizational politicization among the employees of the University of Benghazi in the city of Benghazi, through examining its dimensions: general politicized behavior, present submission for future advancement, and politicization of raises and rewards. The study adopted a descriptive methodology and included a sample of 90 employees selected using a simple random sampling method. However, the prevailing circumstances limited access to all members of the original population.

The findings revealed the following:

1. The dimension of general politicized behavior was rated at a high level.
2. The dimension of present submission for future advancement was rated at a high level.
3. The dimension of politicization of raises and rewards was rated at a high level.
