An investigation was made of the relations among career maturity, organizational rank, and the tendency of people to engage in organizational politics. Tendencies toward political behavior were measured by the 50-item Political Orientation Questionnaire developed by DuBrin. Subjects were 243 employed adults from a wide variety of private and public firms, engaged in managerial, professional and technical, sales, clerical and support, semiskilled, and unskilled occupations. Modest support was found for the hypotheses that younger and lower-ranking workers have stronger political behavior tendencies
