Abstract

The paper discusses the influence of organizational politics on the organizational commitment of employees from two major emergency organizations (Magen David AdomMDA, and the National Fire Authority) from Israel. The main hypothesis is that there is a negative influence of organizational politics and the organizational commitment and its three components: affective, normative and continuance commitment. Based on a quantitative research, calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient, all the four hypothesis formulated were validated. In the article are discussed the results and made several recommendations for managers of emergency organizations in Israel.
