    Compliance is an integral part of any business and its operations. The adherence to rules, policies and processes can aid in mitigating the risks organizations have to face in paying fines and legal fees. In developing nations, the fight against non-compliant behavior has been ongoing over the years. As such this research undertook a quantitative study to ascertain what roles power and organizational politics play when it comes to employee compliance in terms of adhering to policies and procedures within Belizean organizations. This study collected data from 399 employees from both the private and public sectors in Belizean organizations. These participants were able to provide the best insight into how well policies and procedures are implemented and adhered to within their organization. After the data was collected, it was analyzed by being inputted into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23 software to produce results. The results revealed that each base of power, coercive, legitimate, reward, expert, and referent power, have a different effect on employee compliance. The findings also revealed that organizational politics can have a moderating effect on the relationship between the use of personal based power and employee compliance. The findings of this research explain the importance of supervisors using the bases of power appropriately. It also highlights some key reasons contributing to non-compliance by employees due to the use of power and organizational politics.
