Authenticity has long been held as a virtue. However, is it beneficial for employees to be true to themselves in coworker interactions? Drawing on social penetration theory, we argue that a focal employee’s exhibited authenticity at work helps the employee penetrate the interpersonal boundaries of an interacting coworker and as a result, the employee is more likely to be included in this coworker’s social circles and receive help from the coworker. Accordingly, we propose a dyadic-level model and test this model in two survey studies using a round-robin design. The results of both studies consistently demonstrated that the focal employee’s exhibited authenticity is positively related to help received from the coworker via inclusion in the coworker’s social circle. Further, this positive indirect relationship is moderated by the coworker’s perception of organizational politics, such that the relationship is weaker when the coworker’s perception of organizational politics is high. These findings help advance the understanding of when and how employees can gain relational benefits from displaying authenticity at work.

Many studies explore the effect of perception of organizational politics on job satisfaction but a very few investigate for the factors that are salient to this relationship. Perceptions of politics have been considered to be a source of stress at workplace which has detrimental consequences on the desired outcomes. Current study aims to explore the effects of perception of organizational politics (POP) and core self-evaluation (CSE) on employee job satisfaction. The present research also examines core self-evaluation as a moderator in the relationship between perception of organizational politics and job satisfaction. With a sample size of 100 respondents drawn from the health sector of 3rd largest city of Pakistan, named Faisalabad, the current study tested the main effects of POP and CSE on job satisfaction by using a self-administered survey having a total of 30 items. For analyzing the data, SPSS was used. As hypothesized, results show that perceived organizational politics had a significant negative relationship with job satisfaction but the results for CSE were not significant. Furthermore, CSE moderated the relationship of POP and job satisfaction, such that the negative relationship between perception of organizational politics and job satisfaction was weaker when core self-evaluation was high.

 Large number of previous studies have tested that perception of organizational politics negatively impact on employee outcomes with linear relationship. To ascertain the condition where perception of organizational politics can be fruitful for employee outcomes, this study measured the nonlinear relationship of perception of organizational politics with satisfaction with co-workers and job stress. 453 employees working with microfinance companies in Kathmandu valley were surveyed to get cross sectional perceptual data. To infer the conclusion, data were analyzed adopting quantitative analysis, deductive reasoning approach as well as positivist research philosophy. Empirical evidences revealed the nonlinear impact of perception of organizational politics on satisfaction with co-workers and job stress. Both high and low levels of perceived organizational politics were harmful for satisfaction with co-workers and job stress. But a medium level of perception of organizational politics was fruitful for satisfaction with co-workers and job stress.

Based on the findings, numbers of practical as well as theoretical implications are suggested.
