ABSTRACT: Perceptions of Organizational Politics and employee silence, as two topics to
be avoided in organizations, have long drawn widespread attention in the field
of organizational behavior and human resources. Based on the theory of social
exchange and the theory of individual-organization fit, this paper aims to explore
the relationship between the Perceptions of Organizational Politics and
employee silence, as well as the Regulatory effect of Conscientiousness and
organizational identification. Firstly, it defines the definitions and dimensions
of the four variables (Perceptions of Organizational Politics, employee silence,
organizational identity and Conscientiousness) through literature review at
home and abroad. Based on the existing research results, this study starts from
the social exchange theory and individual-organization fit theory, it constructs
a model of the impact of organizational political perception on employees’ silence
and puts forward hypotheses, in which organizational identification and
Conscientiousness are two regulatory variables. Then through a rigorous empirical
study to prove the research model proposed in this paper.
