Abstract

PurposeThis study investigated employee cynicism and workplace ostracism as pathways through which perceived organizational politics (POPs) is related to counterproductive work behavior (CWB) targeted at individual coworkers (CWB-I) and the organization (CWB-O).Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 794 university employees in Southeastern, Nigeria at three-point of measurements.FindingsResults of the Structural Equation Modelling showed that POPs positively predicted CWB-I but did not predict CWB-O directly. POPs positively predicted both employee cynicism and workplace ostracism. Employee cynicism did not predict CWB-I and CWB-O, but workplace ostracism positively predicted both CWB-I and CWB-O. Moreover, whilst POPs did not predict both CWB-I and CWB-O through employee cynicism; workplace ostracism partially mediated the relationship between POPs and the two dimensions of CWB.Originality/valueThe relationship between POPs and CWB has been documented in the literature, but whether affect-laden processes (employee cynicism and workplace ostracism) explain this relationship is new. Conducting the study in a context previously neglected extended our understanding of the indirect relationship between POPs and CWB.

员工玩世不恭和工作场所排斥在组织政治感知与反生产行为关系中的中介作用

目的本研究探讨了员工玩世不恭和工作场所排斥是感知组织政治(POPs)与针对同事个人(CWB- i)和组织(CWB- o)的反生产工作行为(CWB)相关的途径。设计/方法/方法从尼日利亚东南部的794名大学员工中收集了三个测量点的数据。结构方程模型的结果显示，持久性有机污染物正预测废物废物i，但不能直接预测废物废物o。持久性有机污染物正预示着员工的玩世不恭和工作场所的排斥。员工冷嘲热讽不能预测CWB-I和CWB-O，但工作场所排斥对CWB-I和CWB-O均有正向预测作用。此外，虽然POPs并没有通过员工的玩世不恭来预测CWB-I和CWB-O;工作场所排斥在持久性有机污染物与员工绕道两个维度的关系中起部分中介作用。原创性/价值持久性有机污染物与绕道之间的关系已在文献中有记录，但是否影响负载过程(员工玩世不恭和工作场所排斥)解释这种关系是新的。在以前被忽视的背景下进行这项研究，扩大了我们对持久性有机污染物与中环湾仔绕道之间间接关系的认识。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
