Summary/Abstract: This study examines the associative relationship and direction of effect of components of organizational politics on performance and withdrawal behaviours. the study is based on survey data obtained from questionnaire administered on 280 respondents in full-time employment in two organizations. Results of data analysis revealed that perceived political dimensions of organizational policy and self¬promotion political behaviour are positively related with performance and absenteeism. Perceived politics of reward and favouritism in career progression were found to have positive implications on absenteeism and turnover intention while the direction of effect of favouritism on performance is negative. It seems evident that context is of essence in understanding behavioural consequence of politics and, possession of skills to influence positive perception of politics is intuitively beneficial to foster positive organizational consequences
