| description | Employees are contemplated as an indispensable pillar of the organization.Their attitudes and behaviors at the workplace have a drastic effect on organizational performance and
success.Employees' emotional intelligence and political skill at the workplace have immense
importance in shaping their behaviors and attitudes.On the other hand, behaviors and
attitudes plummet towards negativity in the politically polluted environment in the
organization.To investigate the impact of emotional intelligence and perception of
organizational politics on employees' behaviors and attitudes through the mediation of
political skill, the current study collected data from employees of the banking sector of
Pakistan. The data were collected through questionnaires by applying non-probability
convenient sampling technique. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structure equation
modeling (SEM) techniques have been used for statistical analysis. The results revealed the
positive interplay of emotional intelligence with behaviors and attitudes.Further, results also indicated a negative association of perception of organizational politics with behaviors and
attitudes.In addition, the findings depicted that political skill mediates the relationship of
emotional intelligence with behaviors and attitudes.Similarly, political skill also mediates
the interplay of perception of organizational politics with behaviors and attitudes.The scant
research attention had been given to explore the mediating role of political skill among these
variables and present study addressed this gap. The significance of the study was provided at
the end.The limitations were also delineated which followed directions for future research. |
