Abstract
This study explores the relationship
between multidimensional perception of organizational politics
(POP) and employee engagement
(EE), and how multidimensional
political skill (PSKILL) moderates
the relationship. 800 employees,
drawn from three private sector
organizations in Lagos, Nigeria,
participated in the cross-sectional
study. Two dimensions of POP were
negatively related to EE while one
was not. Three dimensions of
PSKILL interacted with the significant
POP dimensions to reduce the
negative effects of POP on EE. The
results highlight the need to utilize
multidimensional POP and PSKILL
in studies, and the need for engaged
employees to possess political
skill if they must be effective.
Hence, organizations must encourage
the development of PSKILL by
engaged employees.
