摘要

与普遍流行的政治技能的积极观点相反，我们认为这种社会能力也有可能为组织带来功能失调的结果。借鉴道德许可理论的见解，该研究考察了一个框架，该框架解释了政治上熟练的员工如何通过领导-成员交换(LMX)关系制定策略来实现他们的自我服务目标。来自250名私营部门员工的多来源样本的研究结果支持了我们提出的框架，并表明政治技能通过LMX与自私自利的反生产行为间接相关，心理权利是一个重要的边界条件。最后，讨论了本研究的意义、优势与不足，以及未来的研究方向。JEL分类:D23

When and how political skill becomes counterproductive: A moral licensing view

Counterintuitive to the generally prevailing positive view of political skill, we suggest that this social competency also has the potential to foster dysfunctional outcomes for organizations. Drawing insights from moral licensing theory, the study examines a framework that explains how politically skilled employees strategize to fulfill their self-serving objectives through leader-member exchange (LMX) relations. The findings from a multi-source sample of 250 private sector employees supported our proposed framework and demonstrated that political skill is indirectly related to self-serving counterproductive behaviors through LMX, with psychological entitlement as an important boundary condition. The study’s implications, its strengths and limitations, and future research directions are also discussed. JEL Classification: D23

期刊介绍： The objectives of the Australian Journal of Management are to encourage and publish research in the field of management. The terms management and research are both broadly defined. The former includes the management of firms, groups, industries, regulatory bodies, government, and other institutions. The latter encompasses both discipline- and problem-based research. Consistent with the policy, the Australian Journal of Management publishes research in accounting, applied economics, finance, industrial relations, political science, psychology, statistics, and other disciplines, provided the application is to management, as well as research in areas such as marketing, corporate strategy, operations management, organisation development, decision analysis, and other problem-focuses paradigms.
