Question

Employees who experience negative organizational politics have higher job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task performance.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The statement is false; negative organizational politics typically result in lower job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that employees who experience negative organizational politics have higher job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task performance is false. Research suggests that negative organizational politics can lead to a greater sense of vulnerability to stress, increased stress experienced by workers, and a perception of higher risk, all of which are linked to lower job satisfaction. Autonomy and feeling integral to work outcomes is more predictive of job satisfaction, as found in the research by Kohn and colleagues. Moreover, feeling empowered and involved in decision-making processes contributes positively to an employee's organizational commitment and task performance.
