Multi-level theorizing about perceptions of organizational politics

Abstract

In this commentary, we review some of the major conclusions reached by Ferris and colleagues in their review of research on perceptions of organizational politics. We suggest that the Ferris et al. model and previous research have not gone far enough in considering the phenomenology of the individual's perception of politics and the multi-level linkages with perceived politics at both the organization-wide and subunit/group levels of analysis.
