Abstract
This study aims to understand the impact of organizational politics on ethical voice, with feelings of frustration as a variable mediating, among a group of employees in one of the directors of the Holy City of Karbala municipalities. To achieve this goal, organizational politics was measured by three sub-dimensions: general political behavior, current submission to future advancement, and wage and promotion policies, while both ethical voice and feelings of frustration were measured using direct questions as they are single-dimensional variables.
The study was initiated to address a primary problem that included inquiries about the nature of the relationship between its variables, such as the extent of service departments’ concern for the ethical voice of their staff, as well as their seriousness in combating organizational politicization and its dimensions. The study population was represented by the Directorate of Al-Husseiniyah Municipality, one of the directorates of the municipalities of the Holy City of Karbala, which ranks second in terms of service quality, management style, and financial reliance. To obtain the necessary data and information for the field aspect of the study, a descriptive-analytical approach was utilized to reach conclusions. The questionnaire served as the main tool for data collection, with the study sample consisting of 157 respondents from the researched department. A variety of statistical methods such as SPSS, Amos v.23, and SPSS.23 were employed for data analysis and processing.
The study yielded a set of results, the most significant of which included the presence of statistically significant correlations and effects between organizational politicization and the ethical voice of employees. This underscores the importance of implementing clear interventions to eliminate organizational politicization and its
primary causes, in order to encourage employees to present new ideas, engage in constructive criticism, and deter deviant behaviors. Furthermore, the study concluded by offering a set of important recommendations to the researched department to preserve the morale of employees while addressing negative phenomena.
Keywords: Organizational politicization, feelings of frustration, ethical voice of employees.
