Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of perceived organizational politics on organizational citizenship behaviour and to reveal the mediating role of organizational justice on that relationship. The research hypotheses were tested among 229 white collar employees at the companies in public sector in the province of Ankara and Istanbul. Research results demonstrated that perceived organizational politics had significant effects on organizational justice however there was no relationship between perceived organizational politics and organizational citizenship behaviour. Furthermore, mediating role of organizational justice was not supported. Implications for future research on perceived organizational politics and practice were discussed.

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı; algılanan örgütsel politikanın (AÖP), örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı (ÖVD) üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmek ve bu ilişkide örgütsel adaletin aracılık rolünün olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Bu amaçla oluşturulan hipotezler, İstanbul ve Ankara'da faaliyet gösteren kamu kurumlarından kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş 229 beyaz yakalı çalışandan oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde test edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde, AÖP'nin örgütsel adalet üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu, ancak ÖVD üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisinin bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir.Ayrıca, örgütsel adaletin aracılık rolü tespit edilememiştir.
