Perceptions of organizational politics and organizational citizenship behavior: The moderating role of workplace friendship
The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between workplace friendship, perceptions of organizational politics and organizational citizenship behavior in Pakistan’s public sector organizations. Data has been collected through structured questionnaire from 150 employees. The results of the study show a negative impact of perceptions of organizational politics on organizational citizenship behavior, while workplace friendship affects organizational citizenship behavior positively. The workplace friendship significantly moderates the relationship of perceptions of organizational politics and organizational citizenship behavior. The future research needs to test the relationship of perceptions of organizational politics with other organizational outcomes, and should collect the data from various types of organizations.
