Abstract

This paper aims to propose and test a research model that investigates the relationship between perception of organizational politics and employee attitude. Data was gathered from a sample of 230 employees working in public education sector of Islamabad, Pakistan. The results indicated that the three constructs of organizational politics including general political behavior (GPB), go along to get ahead (GAGA) and Pay and promotion policies (PPP) have negative impact on employee attitude. The researchers have analyzed the direct relationship between organizational politics and employee attitude. Further studies should take transformational and transactional leadership as moderating variable between organizational politics and employee attitude relationship. This study will be useful for managers/administration in the education sector to come up with policies and ensure the implementation of those policies that help them to avoid negative attitudes at workplace.
