Abstract

Studies conducted previously on the role-played by age in association with perceived organizational politics (POP) with different outcomes of job calls for more attention toward this domain. The current piece of research observes the effect of POP on job outcomes that include turnover intentions (intent to leave), job stress, and job satisfaction. It also sheds light on the age moderation in the POP association with job outcomes. The data used in this research were diverse and collected through self-administered and cross-sectional questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was used as data analysis technique. Precisely, this research discovered that POP has a positive connection with job stress and intent to leave, while having no connection with job satisfaction. Moreover, POP impacts on job satisfaction and job stress was found to be positive in younger employees whereas in older employees, it affected both these variables negatively.
