Abstract: Abstract This study applies social exchange theory to explain how the perception of organizational politics (POP) affects organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). In particular, the current study hypothesizes that moral efficacy negatively mediates the relationship between POP and OCB. Moreover, this study investigates how perceived insider status moderates the negative effect of POP on moral efficacy. This study uses a sample of 392 supervisor–subordinate dyads from touring companies at two different time periods in Southern China. Results support study hypotheses and provide new research directions for studying organizational politics and OCB.
