Abstract
This study examines the effect of general corporate employees' perception of organizational politics, which is widespread and negatively perceived in Korean companies, on their reaction behavior. In particular, the mediating effect of cynicism and the moderating effect of commitment was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that organizational political perception had a positive effect on cynicism, and cynicism had a significant effect on exit, loyalty, and neglect. In addition, the moderating effect of commitment between cynicism, exit, and neglect was confirmed. Through this study, it was demonstrated that the higher the organizational political perception, the higher the cynicism and the negative reaction behavior. It was intended to suggest the organizational system improvement and the importance of human resource management through it.
