“…This meant that the perception held by employees in the indigenous Ghanaian bank about the politics in their organisations did not moderate the impact that their managers/supervisor’s leadership style had on their engagement to work. These findings are in contrast with those found in similar studies by Fashola et al (2016), Harris and Kacmar (2005); Hall et al (2006); Hu and Bentler (1999), who all found that there is some significant impact of POPS on leadership styles and employees work engagement. A plausible reason is perhaps the highly regulated system within which banks operates.…”

“…Although many organisational factors tend to influence behaviours at work, politics at the workplace is experienced by all and is fundamental in everyday workplace activities such as decision-making, resource allocation and communication (Fashola et al , 2016). Employees vary in their perception of organisational politics depending on their level of involvement in political processes in an organisation (Chhetri et al , 2016).…”

“…Employees vary in their perception of organisational politics depending on their level of involvement in political processes in an organisation (Chhetri et al , 2016). Moreover, the political climate perceived by employees can have either a negative or positive impact on workplace attitudes (Chhetri et al , 2016; Fashola et al , 2016). It is, therefore, important to understand how the issue of organisational politics is situated within organisations and how it consequently influences the various workplace factors such as leadership and workplace engagement that are ever-present in organisations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of transformational and transactional leadership styles on employees’ work engagement and the moderating effects of perceived organisational politics (POPS) in indigenous Ghanaian Banks. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a cross-sectional survey design and a quantitative approach to gather data from 430 respondents through the use of structured questionnaire. The covariance-based structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data with the aid of statistical package for social sciences and AMOS. Findings The analyses revealed that transformational leaders had a positive influence on employee engagement while transactional leadership did not have a significant influence on employee engagement. POPS also had no influence on employee engagement. Furthermore, POPS failed to moderate the relationship between leadership styles and employee engagement. Practical implications The findings of this study provide important practical implications for managers and policymakers in the banking sector of Ghana in engendering good leadership and political environments that will promote the engagement of employees. Originality/value The variables used in this study and the context, present interesting and fresh insights into the interplay between leadership styles, POPS and employee engagement, thereby contributing to the discourse on the leadership and human resource management literature. Furthermore, this study fills a gap in literature and challenges prior conceptions that negative political climates within the public and private banks is chiefly responsible for the recent troubles some banks have faced in Ghana’s banking sector.

The studies found that organizational politics is positively related to the transformational and democratic styles of leadership while showing a negative correlation with autocratic and transactional styles of leadership.…”

“…Organizational politics and leadership style are closely related variables because the leadership of an organization plays an important role in shaping the overall culture and structure of an organization in terms of employee's behaviors, attitudes, and overall workplace environment (Fashola, Akanni & Ajila, 2016). It is further commented that the leadermember relationship is one of the important determinants of organizational politics in an organization that determines the possible implications of organizational politics on the underlying outcomes of an organization.…”

Call centres have a tremendous impact on the operation of various sorts of businesses, especially on call centre agents' capabilities in managing customer demand which can either detract from or increase client pleasure. Unfortunately, the demands of the call centre agent's job have made worker turnover the norm in the sector. Employee turnover is frequently associated with negative consequences and operational burdens for organizations, due mainly to the costs and processes required to facilitate or resolve the discrepancies that it can cause. This study aims to identify the factors that influence job dissatisfaction among Contact Centre agents that can lead to turnover intentions. Hence, this study explored the three factors of employee turnover intentions as supervision, salary, and work conditions among Contact Centre agents in Malaysia. 155 useable questionnaires managed to be collected from the call centre agent in the Klang Valley using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS) version 26 and the result revealed there is a relationship between working conditions and turnover intention. This study will provide benefits to the organization by highlighting the main issues and proposing precautionary action to minimize the turnover intention among the contact centre agents.
