The Relationship between Perceived Organizational Politics, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour, and Employee Engagement

Abstract

In organisational contexts, employee engagement, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and perceived organisational politics (POP) are factors that affect employee performance. Understanding the links between these elements is critical for optimising organisational performance The objective of this research was to examine the link between employees perceptions of organisational politics, organisational citizenship behaviour, and employee engagement. The research employed a correlational methodology and gathered data from 150 employees. Stepwise linear regression and Pearson correlation were used to analyse the data. POP and engagement showed a negative link, while OCB and engagement showed a significant positive correlation. Employee engagement was significantly predicted by POP and OCB dimensions, according to regression analysis.
