摘要
Political skill is the ability to understand others and use that knowledge to influence others to act in ways that enhance one's personal and/or organizational objectives. The Political Skill Inventory (Ferris et al., 2005) assesses this talent, and has potential for use in personnel decision making. However, central organizational stakeholders are concerned about the distortion of self-rating scores in job application; consequently, we examined the effects of a job application situation on self-ratings of political skill in a field experiment with 205 job incumbents. The findings showed consistently that the relationship of self-ratings of political skill and job performance ratings by supervisors (rho = .30, p < .01) were not distorted in job application. Implications and limitations are discussed.
