“…Extant literature has presented acceptable reliabilities of the political behavior scale (i.e. the Cronbach's αs: 0.77-0.84) and has revealed its positive corrections with need for achievement, emotional labor, and political will (Amah, 2022;Gabriel et al, 2018;Sun and Chen, 2017;Treadway et al, 2005).…”

“…Furthermore, political behavior is operated behind the scenes and is covert (King and Levy, 2012;Perrew e et al, 2012;Sun and Chen, 2017), which gives rise to disgust toward the actors of political behavior and decreases perceptions of their integrity. Moreover, political behavior is not endorsed by the organization and will threaten the wellbeing of other organizational members because scarce resources will be gained by those who act politically (Amah, 2022;Chang et al, 2009;Ferris et al, 2002;Gabriel et al, 2018;Perrew e et al, 2012).

“…Due to the self-interested and covert nature of political behavior and its harmful effects, political behavior is ethically unacceptable to the public [1]. Additionally, extant research has demonstrated the determinants of political behavior, including need for power, need for achievement, Machiavellianism, and political will (Amah, 2022;Treadway et al, 2005). For instance, Treadway et al (2005) revealed a positive link between need for achievement and political behavior.…”

PurposeDrawing upon ego depletion theory, the authors developed a serial mediation model linking job insecurity with employee political behavior in which resource depletion and moral disengagement operated as two sequential mediators. The authors further identified employee moral identity as an important boundary condition that impacts the strength of this serial mediation effect.Design/methodology/approachMultilevel analyses were utilized to test the proposed hypotheses by analyzing a sample included 306 employees nested in 71 groups.FindingsResults revealed that job insecurity induced resource depletion that activated moral disengagement, which in turn instigated political behavior. Furthermore, employee moral identity weakened this serial indirect effect. Specifically, this indirect effect was positive when moral identity was low, whereas did not present when moral identity was high.Originality/valuePrior studies have primarily concentrated on the detrimental effects of job insecurity. However, less study has investigated how individuals proactively cope with job insecurity. The authors contribute to this stream of research by exploring whether and how job insecurity facilitates employee political behavior.

Research indicates that relationship‐oriented HR practices can increase organizational knowledge, yet we know little about the effects of relationship‐oriented HR practices on employee knowledge management behaviors. Drawing from affective events theory, we examine the indirect effect of participation in one type of relationship‐oriented HR practice (i.e., organizational social activities) on three knowledge management behaviors (i.e., knowledge sharing, knowledge hiding, and knowledge manipulating) via positive affect, as well as the conditional indirect effect of intrinsic motivation for organizational social activities on these relationships. Utilizing a time‐separated field study (n = 163), our analysis reveals positive affect fully mediates the relationship between participation in organizational social activities and (a) knowledge sharing and (b) knowledge hiding, and partially mediates the relationship between participation in organizational social activities, and (c) knowledge manipulating. Most interestingly, we unexpectedly found a positive direct effect of participation in organizational social activities on knowledge manipulation, even though the indirect effect via positive affect was negative. The results also indicate that, for individuals with high intrinsic motivation for social activities, there is a significant indirect effect of participation in organizational social activities on all three knowledge management behaviors.
