Organizational politics is a form of unwanted work outcome that negatively impacts the organization and the performance of others. However, it is a considerable concern in every form of organization and several studies reflect the impact of organizational politics on employee behavior and intention to quit. Most of the time organizational politics has been perceived by lower-level employees and due to perception, they tend to be negative towards the work situation and also try to quit the problem. However, Pakistan is experiencing a severe lack of nursing professionals, and the brain drain is affecting the performance of hospitals and educational institutes and the goodwill and well-being of the country. It has also been determined that the intention to quit is affecting nurses pursuing duties in hospitals as well as in other sectors. Hence, this study takes the reference of nurses working as faculty in nursing institutions in Karachi to analyze the impact of organizational politics on the intention to quit. The data was collected through quota sampling to collect data from nurses who are faculty members rather than principals, administrators & coordinators. SMART-PLS has been used to analyze the impact of organizational politics on employees’ intention to leave with the mediation of stress and the results of the study indicated that triangulation of theories is effective. However, their perceived organizational politics have severe negative outcomes, especially in employee’s intention to quit.
