Political influence compatibility: fitting the person to the climate
研究提出政治影响兼容性概念，即员工偏好的政治影响方式与工作环境实际政治氛围的匹配度，调查138名大学非学术员工发现，这种匹配度与工作满意度、信任管理层等态度显著相关。
This study investigated a person–climate fit model in order to explain the effect of organizational politics on work attitudes. A unique index of compatibility was developed based on the congruence between preferences for political influence processes and those processes perceived to be prevalent in the employment context. A survey of 138 non academic employees of a large public university, representing a variety of jobs, demonstrated that political influence compatibility was clearly related to a wide range of work attitudes (e.g. satisfaction with co-workers, trust in management, evaluation of self). Directions for future research investigating PIC and potential applications of political influence compatibility in human resource management are discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
