Organizational Politics, Participation in Decision-Making, and Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The study tested two hypotheses: (a) that organizational politics as measured by the Kacmar and Ferris (1991) Perceptions of Organizational Politics Scale would be negatively related to feelings of job satisfaction; and (b) that participation in decision-making (PDM) would moderate that relationship. In line with concerns for dispositional affect as a contributor to method variance and the possibility that biodata may explain some of the effects of organizational politics and PDM on job satisfaction, dispositional affect and biodata variables were included in the analyses. Hierarchical moderated multiple regression analyses conducted on data collected from 1,083 Federal employees confirmed the hypotheses.
