Survey: Workers say office politics on the rise

October

Presidential candidates arenâ€™t the only ones campaigning this election season.

A recent survey by Accountemps shows more than half of employees interviewed said the level of office politics in their workplaces has increased compared to five years ago.

Just 12 percent of respondents reported a decline.

While most workers donâ€™t advocate jumping into the political fray, a majority agree that a little knowledge can be power: More than half (54 percent) say itâ€™s wise to be aware of political undercurrents in the office without becoming directly involved.

The survey, based on telephone interviews with 522 office workers, asked: â€œIn your opinion, has the level of office politics in the workplace increased or decreased compared to five years ago?â€

Here are the responses:

Increased greatly……………………………..Â Â Â Â 20 percent
Increased somewhat………………………….Â Â 33 percent
Neither increased nor decreased …………… 25 percent
Decreased somewhat……………………………..Â Â 9 percent
Decreased greatly……………………………………Â 3 percent
Donâ€™t know/no answer ………………………..Â Â Â Â Â 10 percent
