Apoyo percibido del supervisor, capacidad política de los ingenieros y resultados

Task performance and intention to leave are two important results for organizations, especially in high uncertainty periods. This study examines the effect of political skill and perceived supervisor support in a sample of engineers from telecommunications. The results show that engineers’ political skill has an impact on both individual results, although it has a direct effect on task performance and affects intention to leave through job satisfaction. Besides, engineers’ organizational tenure has a moderating role in the relationship between political skill and task performance. The results also show that perceived supervisor support affects intention to leave through job satisfaction. In contrast, the relationship between perceived supervisor support and task performance is not supported.
