Organizational Culture, Perceived Organizational Politics And Quality Of Work Life In Selected Public Sector Organizations.

Abstract

The study examined the organizational culture, perceived organizational politics and quality of work life in selected public sector organizations in Ghana. It further examined the effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between perceived organizational politics and quality of work life. One hundred and thirty-one (131) respondents were conveniently sampled from two public sector organizations in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Using a quantitative design, all selected participants completed questionnaires on Organizational Culture, Perceived Organizational Politics, Perceived Organizational Support and Quality of Work Life. The Simple Linear Regression, Standard Regression and Hierarchical Multiple Regression were conducted on the data. The results indicated that, organizational culture and perceived organizational politics significantly predicted quality of work life. The result further indicated that, Perceived organizational support did not moderate the relationship between perceived organizational politics and quality of work-life. Based on the research findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed as well as limitations and suggestions for future research also highlighted.
