“…The sample item included in this scale, “when it comes to pay rise and promotion decisions, policies are irrelevant.” The combined Cronbach alpha for this scale was 0.93. Moreover, this scale has high internal consistency, most frequently used in existing studies across different organizational contexts (Murtaza et al ., 2022; Cheong and Kim, 2022; AL-Abrrow, 2022; Atta and Khan, 2016).…”

PurposeThis research aims to unpack the relationship between employees' perceived organizational politics (POP) and their self-determined motivation by itemizing the mediating role of hostility and a moderating role of organizational injustice.Design/methodology/approachData were collected at two different times from 270 employees working in various universities in Pakistan. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings revealed that POP negatively influence intrinsic motivation, autonomous extrinsic motivation and positively impact amotivation, whereas POP does not affect employees' controlled extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, POP positively influences hostility. Moreover, hostility mediates the relationships between perceived organizational politics and self-determined motivation. Finally, the findings also revealed that the relationship between perceived organizational politics and hostility was stronger when the perceived organizational injustice was high.Practical implications POP can lead to intentional efforts to harm the organization by enhancing employee hostility, which divulges how this peril can be restrained by implanting organizational fairness. Moreover, proactive employees with superior emotional intelligence skills have a greater capability to control their negative emotions. Emotional intelligence (EI) training can effectively reduce the hostility between employees provoked by POP and ultimately diminish self-determined motivation.Originality/valueThe current study revealed that ambiguous forms of political behavior trigger isolated work emotions, negatively affecting organizational sustainability and outcomes. These results have valuable suggestions regarding organizational injustice as a moderator to diminish the hostility resulting from POP.

“…Consistent with COR theory, individual personal resources are depleted in dealing with the stressor, which leaves limited resources available for work demands (Hobfoll, 2011). This resource loss can lead to emotional exhaustion (Murtaza et al, 2022). Accordingly, we predict that the relationship between NWG and emotional exhaustion will strengthen in case of SM usage is high in the workplace because the exposure of (mis)information (among SM friends) as a stressor can cause strain (First et al, 2021; Wolfers & Utz, 2022).…”

This study investigates how negative workplace gossip (NWG) affects counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) through emotional exhaustion. We seek to advance a more nuanced view of negative gossip regarding CWB by exploring the contingency roles of social media (SM) and moral attentiveness (MA). With the use of multisource, time‐lagged data from 306 information technology (IT) professionals and their supervisors, we highlight the importance of SM and MA in understanding how individuals react to negative gossip. Our results indicate a positive relationship between negative gossip and CWB mediated by emotional exhaustion. Notably, we found that the use of SM in the workplace strengthens the positive relationship between negative gossip and employees' emotional exhaustion. In addition, the indirect effect of gossip on CWB via exhaustion was moderated by individuals' moral attentiveness. Finally, we describe the implications for managers and promising avenues for future research.

“…Many researchers postulated that POP has mainly negative consequences as discussed by Li et al, (2013) politics in the organization brings lot of uncertainties and risks. Efforts to cope with political situation results in depletion of emotional resources thus exhausting a person emotionally (Karatepe & Karatepe, 2009;Maslach & Goldberg 1999;Murtaza et al, 2022). Goodman and Boss (2002) as well as Harris et al (2005) found emotional exhaustion to be one of the basic stress related outcomes of POP.…”

Drawing on Social Stressors' theory and the Social Exchange theory, current study investigates the impact of Perceived Organizational Politics (POP) on Emotional Exhaustion (EE). The moderating role of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Trust in Organization TIO) was tested in the aforementioned relationship. A cross-sectional research design was adopted for the present study. Using purposive sampling techniques, data were collected from a sample of 274 faculty members from public sector universities of Islamabad, Pakistan. Moderated Regression analysis was carried out using SPSS software to test study hypotheses. Findings revealed POP, POS and TIO predicts Emotional exhaustion. The moderating impact of POS was found in POP and EE relationship, however, TIO could not significantly moderate the said relationship. Management of universities need to put efforts for controlling Organizational politics in the workplace. Supervisors need to be trained for providing support to the teachers perceiving politics in university.
