Abstract
Present study was carried out to examine the impact of perceived
organizational politics (POP) on organizational citizenship
behavior (OCB), affective commitment (AC), and job involvement
(JI). A convenient sample of teachers (N = 494) of different public
sector universities of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces
of Pakistan was included in this study. Correlational survey
research design was undertaken in order to accomplish the current
study. Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (Lee & Allen,
2002), Organizational Commitment Scale (Allen & Meyer, 1990),
Organizational Politics Scale (Kacmar & Carlson, 1997), and Job
Involvement Scale (Kanungo, 1982) were used for assessment.
Appropriate analyses were carried out to analyze data through
SPSS-21 version. Multiple regression analysis revealed that POP
and its constructs that included general political behavior (GPB),
go-along-to-get-ahead (GATGA), and pay-and- promotionspolicies (PPP) not only predicted OCB negatively but also found to
be the significant negative predictors of AC and JI. Implications of
this study and suggestions for future empirical exploration of the
constructs are discussed
