Özet:

 The main purpose of this study is to examine whether employees who resort to political tactics in organizations are able to create a better perception of performance and commitment in the eyes of their supervisors or leaders and to what extent the supervisors self-efficacy affects this relationship. To this end, research data were collected through an online survey from a total of 221 participants. During data collection, managers were asked to evaluate their subordinates behaviors in terms of political tactics, performance, and commitment, as well as their own levels of self-efficacy. As a result, it was found that the performance of subordinates attempting to ingratiate themselves with their superiors was not positively evaluated by their supervisors. Furthermore, supervisors with high self-efficacy tended to evaluate these types of subordinates even more negatively. In other words, the differential impact of employees political tactics on supervisors evaluations and the variations in supervisors perceptions of these tactics based on their levels of self-efficacy are seen as valuable contributions to the literature on political tactics.

 Çalışmanın temel amacı, örgütlerde politik taktiklere başvuran çalışanların, amirlerinin yöneticilerinin gözünde daha iyi bir performans ve bağlılık algısı yaratıp yaratmadığını ve amirlerin öz yeterliliklerinin bu ilişkiyi ne ölçüde etkilediğini incelemektir. Bu niyetle araştırma verileri çev- rimiçi anket yardımıyla toplam 221 katılımcıdan toplanmıştır. Veriler toplanırken yöneticilerden astlarının davranışlarını politik taktikler açısından, performanslarını ve bağlılıklarını, ayrıca kendi- lerinin öz yeterlik düzeylerini değerlendirmeleri istenmiştir. Verilerin analizi için SPSS 25 programı kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak amirlerinin gözüne girmeye çalışan astların performanslarının amirleri tarafından olumlu değerlendirilmediği, öz yeterliliği yüksek olan amirlerin ise bu tür astları daha da olumsuz değerlendirdikleri görülmüştür. Başka bir ifade ile yöneticilerin, çalışanların kullan- dığı politik taktiklerinden, beklenenin ötesinde olumsuz etkilenmeleri ile yöneticilerin bu taktik- leri nasıl algıladıklarının öz yeterlilik düzeylerine göre farklılaşması politik taktikler yazınına değerli katkılar olarak görülmektedir.
