“…Yet, serious scholarship on politics in organizations has emerged as a viable body of scientific inquiry just within the past twenty years (Ferris, Adams, Kolodinsky, Hochwarter & Ammeter, 2002;Drory & Vigoda-Gadot, 2010). Studies have long argued that politics is an epidemic phenomenon ubiquitous in organizations and that it deserves more attention and empirical examination (e.g., Vigoda, 2000;Pfeffer, 1992;Andrews, Witt & Kacmar, 2003).…”

Despite increasing awareness of the importance of managing the negative effects of organizational politics at the workplace, research on consequences relating to employees' perceptions of the same in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Africa has received little attention. Therefore, using data from 250 SMEs in Zimbabwe, this study examines the effects of employees' perceptions of organizational politics on turnover intentions and the mediating influence of employees' perceptions of equity and organizational commitment. All the posited six hypotheses were supported by the sample data. Managerial implications of the findings are discussed and limitations and future research directions are indicated.

“…It has been identified that most of the studies on the relationship between the performance and leadership have not been focusing on the public sector [5] which we agree specially from the selection of the heads in the public sector organizations perspective. Investigating this gender equality issues in the federal public institutions has vital significance because they are the figures who are actual operators of federal ministries, corporations and autonomous bodies having thousands of employees to prove the best services from the government.…”

Women empowerment has remained a long standing issue for practitioners and policy makers at all levels even in the present modern known era of modernization. The basic objective of this study is to assess gender equality in the top sphere of the SAARC key governmental institutions from the recruitment and selection perspective. This study has used secondary data collected from the official websites of the governments and its affiliated key institutions. The unique feature of this study is that it analyzes gender inequality phenomena form the recruitment and selection perspective. An extensive gap has been identified between male and female top executives serving in key government institutions, which is not only a serious challenge for the global gender equality policy but also a serious question on government gender selection polices in the region. The notion of male dominance clearly prevails in the current scenario of the gender representation in government institutions, which remains a serious challenge for the gender equality. It has been concluded that a special focus is needed to prioritize the selection mechanism for females in top power structure of these governments especially in SAARC region.

Also, to examine the Cronbach's alpha of the POPS Spanish version as well as to explore the effects of organizational politics may have on employees in the workplace. The study had a quantitative and a non-experimental transversal design. Two bilingual translators from Puerto Rico translated the scale to Spanish. The sample consisted of 205 participants. The snowball sampling was used to reach the participants. The statistical analysis used to measure the scale was the Alpha Coefficient formula and the Exploratory Factor Analysis to determine which items will remain in the final version. The results showed that the final version of the scale contained 13 items and had a Cronbach's alpha of .87 and two subscales. The researcher concluded that the POPS Spanish version may be a preliminary valid instrument in Puerto Rico and possesses a strong Cronbach's Alpha. Another finding was that the variable sector had an effect on employees' perceptions of organizational politics.
