AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored how perceptions of workplace politics affect employee behavior, particularly looking at those who engage actively at work versus those who don't.
- Employees with low enactment behaviors reported feeling less satisfied and less aligned with their job environment when faced with political dynamics, while those with high enactment behaviors showed resilience to these negative impacts.
- The research highlights important implications for workplace dynamics and suggests directions for further investigation into employee engagement and perceptions of politics.
Article Abstract
The current study investigated the previously unexamined relationship between politics perceptions and employee enactment behavior. Consistent with previous job stress and sense-making research, we hypothesized that individuals reporting low levels of enactment behaviors would be more adversely affected by politics perceptions than those who engaged in high levels of enactment behavior. Results across two samples provided strong support for the hypothesized relationships. Specifically, employees who reported low levels of enactment behavior experienced less satisfaction, less person-environment fit, and reported lower levels of effort when faced with highly political environments. Conversely, levels of satisfaction and person-environment fit perceptions of individuals reporting high levels of enactment behaviors were largely unaffected by highly political contexts. Implications of these findings, strengths and limitations, and avenues for future research are provided.
