✦ Synopsis

This study investigated the relationship of organizational politics and organizational support to various work attitudes and behaviors among a ®eld sample of 128 participants. Consistent with our hypothesis, politics and support were related to job satisfaction, commitment, turnover intentions, and supervisor ratings of organizational citizenship behaviors. However, only support was related to job performance. We also examined whether or not organizational politics and organizational support comprise two distinct constructs or one global factor. The evidence here was ambiguous. Fit indices obtained from con®rmatory factor analysis suggested that it is more parsimonious to treat politics and support as opposite ends of the same construct, though the two-factor model did show a slightly better ®t. On the other hand, subsequent multiple regression analyses showed that support tended to account for additional criterion variance beyond the eect of politics, implying that there may be some practical utility to retaining politics and support as distinct constructs.
