Abstract

Drawing from the previous studies, investigating the direct effect of emotional intelligence (EI) on employee outcomes, this study proposed that perceived organizational politics (POP) will be negatively related to EI and will also moderate the relationships between EI and employee outcomes. A total of 229 employees from 27 public and private organizations of Nepal participated in the study. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to test the hypotheses. The moderating effect was also tested using the graphical method. Regression results showed significant positive relationships between EI and employee-outcomes—job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational citizenship behavior. POP was not associated with EI. Assessment of moderating effect showed the moderating effect of POP on the relationship between EI and job satisfaction only. Practical and research implications of the findings are discussed and directions for future research are suggested.
