Abstract

We explored the negative spillover impact of perceptions of organizational politics (POP) on work–family conflict (WFC), by examining the mediating effect of organizational cynicism (OC) on the relationship between POP and WFC. The results from a survey of 495 full-time staff members in public organizations in Mainland China indicated that POP exerted a significant positive effect on WFC, and that this relationship was mediated by OC. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.
