Summary/Abstract: This study evaluates the concept of political behavior, which can be described as non-role behaviors that individuals or groups consciously display in order to protect or obtain their personal interests. In order to accomplish this, the concept of political behavior, the areas where it occurs, its dimensions, the factors that facilitate its emergence, and its consequences are discussed first. Afterwards, it was discussed whether political behaviors could be prevented or not, and it was attempted to contribute to the literature by making a few suggestions for future researches and practitioners by addressing the gaps in the political behavior literature that have not yet reached sufficient satisfaction in local literature. It is evident from the results of the study that the local literature has not yet reached sufficient satisfaction regarding studies examining the relationship between political behavior and factors such as personality traits, leadership styles, power sources, psychological capital, working conditions, career goals, and political behavior. Further, no study has been found in the local literature that deals with the relationship between political behaviors and generational differences. Therefore, this relationship is considered an important gap in literature that needs to be filled.
