Abstract
The present research purported to study job satisfaction, organizational
commitment and turnover intentions in association with perceived
organizational politics. Sample consisted of 353 teachers selected from a
Public Sector University in Lahore. Perception of Organizational Politics
Scale (Kacmar & Carlson, 1997), Generic Job Satisfaction Scale
(Macdonald & Maclntyre, 1997), Organizational Commitment
Questionnaire (Mowday, Porter, & Smith, 1979) and The Turnover
Intention Scale (Camman, Fichman, Jenkins, & Klesh, 1979) were used
for assessment. Findings showed a negative correlation of perceived
organizational politics with job satisfaction and organizational
commitment. The results of hierarchical regression also depicted that
perceived organizational politics negatively predicted job satisfaction and
organizational commitment after controlling demographic variables.
These relationships were same among all the statuses of university
teachers. Further, perceived organizational politics was found to be
positively correlated with turnover intentions. Results also indicated that
perceived organizational politics positively predicted turnover intentions.
Results were discussed in terms of their implications and theoretical
significance.
