In the early 1980s, Pfe¦er (1981) ¢rst introduced the term political skill to the scholarly literature, as part of his political perspective on organizations. His approach to power essentially was structural in nature (e.g., created by the departmentalization, division of labor), was perceived to be a resource, and was acquired, used, and developed through the use of tactics and strategies of organizational politics. Pfe¦er conceived of political skill as an individual characteristic that could be employed to e¦ectively demonstrate political behavior to acquire or develop structurally determined power.
