The present study examined the moderating effects of procedural and distributive justice on the relationships between political skill and task performance and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among 175 supervisor-subordinate dyads of a government organization. Using Mischel's (1968) situationist perspective, high justice conditions were considered "strong situations," whereas low justice conditions were construed as "weak situations." We found that when both procedural and distributive justice were low, political skill was positively related to performance. Under conditions of both high procedural and high distributive justice, political skill was negatively related to performance. Finally, under conditions of low distributive justice, political skill was positively related to OCB, whereas under conditions of high distributive justice, political skill had little effect on OCB. These results highlight the importance of possessing political skill in weak but not strong situations.
本研究考察了程序公正和分配公正对政治技能与任务绩效和组织公民行为（OCB）之间关系的调节作用，参与者为某政府组织的 175 对主管-下属。采用米舍尔（1968）的情境主义观点，高公正条件被视为“强情境”，而低公正条件被解释为“弱情境”。我们发现，当程序公正和分配公正都低时，政治技能与绩效呈正相关。在程序公正和分配公正都高的情况下，政治技能与绩效呈负相关。最后，在分配公正较低的情况下，政治技能与 OCB 呈正相关，而在分配公正较高的情况下，政治技能对 OCB 的影响较小。这些结果强调了在弱情境而非强情境中拥有政治技能的重要性。
