The university is fragmented into many power blocs and interest groups, and it is natural that they try to influence decisions so that their values and goals are given primary consideration. Conflict is natural, and is to be expected in a dynamic organization. Conflict is not abnormal, nor is it necessarily a symptom of a breakdown in the university. Micropolitcs refers to the use of formal and informal power by individuals and groups to achieve their goals in organizations. In large part political action results from perceived differences between individuals and groups, coupled with the motivation to use power to influence and protect. Both cooperative and conflictive actions and processes are part of the realm of micropolitics. Barcharch and Mundell proposed a framework for identifying the relevant micropolitical actors, the dimensions of power and the strategies used by these actors. As soon as the selection procedure of new faculty members begins, the department will be split by age, rank and the length of time at the department. An individual faculty member attempts to form an interest group with other individuals. He tries to influence selection decisions, exerting powers he relies on. Expert power and reference power seem to provide the strong influence to form an interest group. An interest group can form a coalition with one or more other interest groups. Or an interest group with greater power has a greater probability of being able to impose its logic successfully on the decision without forming coalitions. If interest groups are incompatible on the preference for applicants, then each group is likely to decide on a strategy of conflict with the other groups. Interest groups are not likely to be as willing to negotiate and compromise on decisions and thus will likely select a strategy of confrontation with other interest groups. Given this conflict, there is the need in decision making for forming coalitions of interest groups in order to win. If the dominant coalition wins, the opposing group loses. Then there will be rumors and gossips on the campus. In the final process, the administrator becomes a political negotiator among those competing claims for a fair decision. The role of the administrator is quite literally described as a politician.
