Abstract

ABSTRACT Little research has been conducted on organizational politics and its effects on individual outcomes within public organizations in a non-Western culture. We explored how the perception of organizational politics affects the organizational performance and work attitudes including job satisfaction and organizational commitment of public employees. We also examined how age and PSM moderate the politics perceptions–outcomes relationship. The interactive relationship between organizational politics and age or PSM on the one hand and performance and job attitudes on the other was examined using a sample of public employees from the central government in South Korea. The results indicate that politics perceptions in organizations lower organizational commitment and individual performance. Moreover, 1) politics perceptions have the most deleterious effect on commitment to their organization for older public employees, and 2) employees with high levels of PSM are more vulnerable to workplace politics than employees with low levels of PSM.

组织政治、工作态度和绩效：年龄和公共服务动机（PSM）的调节作用

在非西方文化的公共组织中，关于组织政治及其对个人结果的影响的研究很少。我们探讨了组织政治感知如何影响公共雇员的组织绩效和工作态度，包括工作满意度和组织承诺。我们还研究了年龄和PSM如何调节政治感知-结果关系。组织政治与年龄或PSM之间的互动关系，以及绩效和工作态度之间的互动关系，以韩国中央政府的公共雇员为样本进行了研究。结果表明，组织中的政治认知降低了组织承诺和个人绩效。此外，1)政治观念对年长公职人员的组织承诺影响最大，2)高PSM水平的员工比低PSM水平的员工更容易受到工作场所政治的影响。
