The Structural Equation Model of Political Behaviors on Organizational Citizenship Behavior with the Mediation of job Engagement and Job Satisfaction Behavior in the Companies Affiliated with the IRIB

The purpose of this research is to explain the role of political behaviors on organizational citizen behavior through the mediation of job engagement and job satisfaction through structural equation modeling. The research was carried out by descriptive-correlation method and especially based on structural equations. The statistical population of the research is 430 employees of Takta and Simachoob companies affiliated to the IRIB in Tehran, and the sample size is 203 people, which was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table. Data collection was done using standard questionnaires. Data analysis was done with the help of structural equation modeling (confirmatory path analysis) and Pearson correlation test using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The findings showed; Political behavior has a significant and negative effect on organizational citizenship behavior and job engagement, job satisfaction and job engagement have a significant and positive effect on organizational citizenship behavior. Political behavior and job engagement have no significant effect on job satisfaction. The effect of political behavior on organizational citizenship behavior through job engagement and job satisfaction is significant.
