The Effects of Politics and Power on The Organizational Commitment of Federal Executives

Patricia A. Wilson

San Diego State University

This research investigates the effects of power and politics on organizational commitment. The study develops two theoretical explanations for organizational commitment in which five independent variables are embodied: (I) a power-based theory of commitment (including subunit power, leadership power, leadership behavior variables); and, (2) theory of politics (including "arbitrary personnel practices"and the "political control"variables). Politics and power are discovered to have a significant effect on the organizational commitment of executives.
