- Abstract
Workplace ostracism is more damaging than bullying because when employees feel ignored, they will not only be damaged physically but also mentally. Although workplace ostracism has negative impacts on employee behavior, there has been limited study that focuses on variables that can decrease the level of workplace ostracism. The present study comprised 214 employees from any organizational domain and job level. This study used a Political Skill Inventory (PSI) to measure political skill, a communication openness scale to measure operationalized communication transparency, and the workplace ostracism scale (WOS) to examine workplace ostracism. Results showed that communication transparency moderated the inverse relationship between a leader’s political skill and workplace ostracism. Political skill of leaders can significantly lower the level of workplace ostracism when communication transparency is low. This study may help organizations or communities to decrease the effect of workplace ostracism by increasing the leader’s political skill and communication transparency at work.
