Relationships between perceptions of political behavior and outcomes were empirically found to be ambiguous and equivocal. Few researchers have found consistent evidence of their effect on outcomes. This study proposes that employee tenure and gender moderate the relationships between Perceptions of Organizational Politics (POP) and commitment and trust. Series of regression and correlation analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and its second-order Higher Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (HCFA) were adopted to test the model. The result shows that POP relates negatively to both commitment and trust. Tenure and gender were found to influence the relationships between POP and the identified outcomes. Male and female employees, whether treated fairly or not, have gender moderates POP and trust relationships. Tenured employees who are treated fairly also have different strengths in these relationships. Both gender and tenure were found to have different strengths in their effects on POP and commitment relationships. Implications of the findings for organizations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract


Relationships between perceptions of political behavior and outcomes were empirically found to be ambiguous and equivocal. Few researchers have found consistent evidence of their effect on outcomes. This study proposes that employee tenure and gender moderate the relationships between Perceptions of Organizational Politics (POP) and commitment and trust. Series of regression and correlation analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and its second-order Higher Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (HCFA) were adopted to test the model. The result shows that POP relates negatively to both commitment and trust. Tenure and gender were found to influence the relationships between POP and the identified outcomes. Male and female employees, whether treated fairly or not, have gender moderates POP and trust relationships. Tenured employees who are treated fairly also have different strengths in these relationships. Both gender and tenure were found to have different strengths in their effects on POP and commitment relationships. Implications of the findings for organizations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
