Abstract
This study investigates empirically the role of age in
the relationship between perceptions of organizational
politics (POP) and job satisfaction. The sample selected
was quite heterogeneous consisting of part time
students of business courses of a large institute of
business administration. We measured three dimensions
of POP, i.e., general political behavior; go along to get
ahead and pay and promotions in relation with different
facets of job satisfaction while controlling for age. The
results of the study showed that general political
behavior, go along to get ahead and pay and promotions
are highly and negatively correlated with different
dimensions of job satisfaction, except satisfaction in
general. Age is significantly positively correlated with
only one dimension of perceptions of organizational
politics, i.e., pay and promotion policies and negatively
but not significantly correlated with job satisfaction.
Policy implications and guideline for future research
are also discussed.
