Abstract	The fact that politics exist in Pakistani organizations is true for the education sector too. This research distinguished whether maintaining and moving to higher positions in a brief time frame in the hierarchy of a higher education institution, is through belongingness or is it through labor and capability. This study investigated the existence of politics among the teachers of public sector higher education institutions and is structured around the Perceptions of Organizational Politics (PoPs) developed by Kacmar and Carlson (1997). The perceptions of organizational politics were measured by three variables, general political behavior, going along to get ahead, and pay and promotion policy. Data were collected in two phases: the first phase included the collection of quantitative data from 367 university faculty which was analyzed using SPSSv-22.0. and in the second phase, 15 university Deans/HoDs were interviewed for triangulation. The results of the research established that politics exists at the university level where teachers and professors act the same way as workers in any other organization. The research likewise brought to the fore a solid relationship between workers' apparent contentment with regards to paying and advancement and organizations' compensation and advancement guidelines.
