Abstract

ABSTRACT Building on social exchange theory, this study examines the relationship between perceptions of organizational politics and employee performance and interpersonal skills. We hypothesized that perceptions of organizational politics create an imbalance in the exchange relationship between employee and organization, which leads to organizational deviance. We also hypothesized that supervisors may attempt to rebalance the exchange relationship by providing lower performance and interpersonal skills ratings. Finally, we suggest that politically skilled employees avoid an increase in negative ratings. The present study demonstrates that perceptions of organizational politics may lead to negative employee behaviors and reduced supervisors’ ratings in an effort to rebalance the exchange relationship. In addition, politically skilled employees may avoid increased negative ratings when politics perceptions are high.

组织政治与偏差：探究政治技能的作用

摘要基于社会交换理论，本研究考察了组织政治认知与员工绩效和人际交往技能之间的关系。我们假设，对组织政治的感知会导致员工和组织之间的交流关系失衡，从而导致组织越轨。我们还假设，主管可能会试图通过提供较低的绩效和人际交往技能评级来重新平衡交流关系。最后，我们建议有政治技能的员工避免负面评价的增加。本研究表明，为了重新平衡交换关系，对组织政治的认知可能会导致员工的负面行为和主管的评级降低。此外，当政治认知较高时，具有政治技能的员工可能会避免负面评价的增加。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
