SCALE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DIMENSIONS OF POLITICAL BEHAVIOR

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify political behaviors that are exercised within the organizations and based on this identification to develop an instrument for political behavior. The instrument was developed and tested using a sample of 290 employees from diverse occupations and organizations. In the study, political behavior is operationally defined as “organizationally non-sanctioned behavior that is not consistent with the norms of the organization and which may be detrimental to organizational goals or to the interests of others in the organization” (Ferris, Russ ve Fandt, 1989; Gandz ve Murray, 1980; Porter, Allen ve Angle, 1981). Results of the exploratory factor analysis on the survey data revealed six factors with Eigen values greater than one. The six factors are named as “acting two-faced”, “making concessions”, “ingratiation”, “forming coalitions”, “exchange of favors” and “inspirational appeals”. The second factor analysis applied to these six factors grouped the factors under two main factors namely “lateral political behavior” and “vertical political behavior”. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed in the last section
