Purpose

This study aims to investigate the influence of organisational politics on work engagement and the moderator effect of positive framing on this relationship

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 241 public sector employees in Sri Lanka through a structured questionnaire and analysed with partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS_SEM).

Findings

The results indicated that organisational politics negatively influenced employees' work engagement, positive framing positively influenced engagement and weakened the negative relationship between politics and engagement.

Practical implications

This study suggests that organisation and individuals must take the necessary steps to enhance work engagement. Organisations must be transparent in all activities to avoid employees' negative perception. Also, organisations need to take steps to recruit employees with positive framing or develop this competency through training and development. Individuals also need to take necessary steps to frame the work environment positively to enhance their engagement in work.

Originality/value

This study extends the literature by being the first to examine the positive framing as a moderator in the relationship between politics and engagement. This study found that positive framing as a resource reduced the harmful effect of organisational politics on engagement and suggested positive framing can be considered as a resource in the future investigation of the job demand–resource model.

我会管理自己：积极框架对组织政治和敬业度之间关系的调节作用

目的

本研究旨在调查组织政治对工作投入的影响以及积极框架对这种关系的调节作用

设计/方法/方法

通过结构化问卷从斯里兰卡的 241 名公共部门雇员那里收集数据，并使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型 (PLS_SEM) 进行分析。

发现

结果表明，组织政治对员工的工作敬业度产生负面影响，积极的框架对敬业度有正向影响，并削弱了政治与敬业度之间的负向关系。

实际影响

这项研究表明，组织和个人必须采取必要措施来提高工作投入。组织必须在所有活动中保持透明，以避免员工的负面看法。此外，组织需要采取措施以积极的框架招聘员工，或通过培训和发展培养这种能力。个人还需要采取必要的步骤来积极构建工作环境，以提高他们对工作的参与度。

原创性/价值

本研究通过首次将积极框架作为政治与参与之间关系的调节者来检验文献，从而扩展了文献。本研究发现，作为一种资源的积极框架减少了组织政治对敬业度的有害影响，并建议在未来对工作需求-资源模型的调查中，可以将积极框架视为一种资源。
