Effects of Politics, Emotional Stability, and LMX on Job Dedication

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Efforts to identify antecedents of job dedication (i.e., being loyal and cooperative) are likely to offer value to managers. The authors examined the combined effects of organizational politics and emotional stability on the relationship between leader–member exchange and job dedication. Results of analyses conducted on 156 private sector workers revealed that leader–member exchange quality yielded high levels of job dedication among all employees except the emotionally unstable working in highly political climates. These results not only reinforce the need to hire emotionally stable workers and keep organizational politics at low levels but also point to the limitations of leader influences on employee contextual performance.
