Abstract:

 

The study examined the relationship between perceptions of organisational
 politics, frustration with work and occupational commitment among officers in the
 Sport and Recreation Department in Gauteng, South Africa. A structured
 questionnaire was administered to 152 officers in the department and the
 Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used to analyse
 collected data. A non-probability convenient sampling method was used to select
 sample respondents. Statistical techniques utilised included factor analysis,
 correlation analysis and regression analysis. Correlation analysis results indicated
 statistically significant correlations between general political behaviour and going
 along to get ahead, pay and promotion as well as frustration with work. Negative
 correlation existed between frustration with work and occupational commitment.
 It was recommended that employees who showed sustained frustration with work
 be identified and appropriate interventions such as coaching and mentoring be
 instituted. Limitations and implications for further research were explored.
