Abstract	This study examines the detrimental effects of organizational politics on employee performance and workplace dynamics. Through a qualitative case study approach and theoretical framework analysis, I investigate how power conflicts and political maneuvering within organizations can create a negative work environment, akin to a "cold war zone." My findings suggest that organizational politics can significantly decrease employee efficiency, stifle creativity, and hinder productivity. The paper provides insights into the mechanisms by which political dynamics can lead to a toxic work environment and offers implications for managers and organizations seeking to mitigate these effects and foster a more positive and productive workplace culture.
