Answer:

Organizational politics.

Step-by-step explanation:

An interest group can be defined as a group of people sharing common aims, ideas and concerns, which seeks to influence government or a public policy.

This ultimately implies that, the interest groups consists of individuals who are only concerned about influencing public policy of the government on the basis of a particular common aim and interest.

Similarly, when actions by individuals in a organization are directed toward the goal of furthering their own self-interests such as being promoted, traveling to get estacodes, training, courses, etc., it is generally termed as organizational politics. Thus, you will see such employees (individuals) getting closer to top the executive management and patronizing them, in order to be in their good books.
