Presenting a model of political behavior based on the theory of shadow management in the public sector with a hybrid method by Ghorbanali Khazaei Pool, davood kiakojouri, Mohammad Javad Tghipourian

“…Components related to power and political behavior based on shadow management theory were identified and validated with the kappa coefficient. Based on the research findings, political behavior in the public sector has 72 components in three different dimensions: the white political behavior dimension with 28 components that has a practical function and is based on political behavior knowledge and helps achieve organizational goals; the black political behavior dimension with 26 components that are harmful and act in favor of groups under the supervision of shadow managers and prevent the achievement of the organization's goals; and the gray political behavior with 18 components that may be both beneficial and detrimental to the organization's goals. …”
