Abstract

In order to create a sustainable competitive advantage, companies This paper investigates the contribution of perception of organization politics (PoP) for teacher’s trust building and relation to teacher’s performance. This study was attempted to discern the important features of different perceptions of politics at work environment, on teacher’s trust and performance relationship. We proposed three hypotheses. First hypothesis is teacher’s perception of organizational politics will have negative relationship with teacher’s trust, second is teacher’s trust will have positive relationship with teacher’s performance. The 3rd hypothesis was Trust will act as mediation on teacher’s perception of organization politics and performance relationship. The result of this study showed that both first and second hypotheses were accepted. The teacher’s perception of organizational politics showed negative relationship to trust significantly (r=-0.30, p<.01) and in case of this study, teacher’s trust showed positive relationship to performance significantly (r=0.18, p.<.05). In the case on mediation, trust was fully mediated the relationship between PoP and performance ( =-.222**; ’=-.184), and also trust showed moderated the relationship between PoP and performance. Implication of the findings for organizations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
