中文摘要

政治技能幾乎存在於每一個組織，但探討政治技能與工作績效的相關性機制仍稀少。本研究探討政治技能、主管部屬交換關係(LMX)、主管部屬交換關係差異性(LMXD)及工作績效之跨層次關係。本研究以一家中日台資公司為研究對象，採便利抽樣方式進行問卷調查。以主管與部屬配對問卷方式來蒐集資料，發出140份問卷，配對確認及刪除不完整之問卷，共回收124份有效配對資料，有效回收率88%。本研究以層級線性迴歸分析進行研究假設之驗證。研究結果顯示：在個體層次方面，政治技能對工作績效有正向關係，政治技能對主管部屬交換關係有正向關係，主管部屬交換關係對政治技能和工作績效兩者間具有中介效果。在群體層次方面，主管部屬交換關係差異性的確為主管部屬交換關係與工作績效間的調節變項。此結果意味著，當團隊處在主管部屬交換關係差異性愈高的環境時，主管部屬交換關係和團隊成員的工作績效之間的影響會越強。最後，本研究提出理論貢獻、實務意涵與討論。
英文摘要

Political skill xists in just about every rganization, but little research has been done on the conditions under which political skill can be related to job performance. We proposed that leader-member exchange (LMX) serves as a mediating mechanism through which political skill affects ob performance. We further argued that the modeled relationship is moderated by leader-member exchange differentiation (LMXD). We collected data from two sources, supervisors and subordinates, with a sample of 140 employees representing 25 work teams of a Taiwan-Japan joint venture company. The valid returns were 124, with a valid return rate of 88%. We used hierarchical regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The results of the study displayed that at individual-level, political skill is positively related to job performance and LMX. LMX mediates between political skill and job performance. At group-level, LMXD moderates the relationship between LMX and job performance. The results revealed that with higher LMXD, the impact of LMX toward job performance will be stronger. We ended with discussions about the theoretical contributions and practical implications.
