Özet:

Working life has now become a structure that is more than just permanent by doing their jobs in the best way. Individuals who want to protect themselves against the effects of extreme competition and create value in the companies they work for, they also have to demonstrate their different social competencies in this process besides performing their duties in the best way. The social skills that individuals possess are of great importance in addressing the problems posed by behavioral processes in organizations. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of employee political skill levels and perceptions of meritocracy on organizational deviance behavior that range from productivity antagonism to aggression in organizations and are covered in a wide range of topics. The data of the study was obtained by applying a face-to-face survey method together with a simple random sampling technique in Istanbul. The analyses were conducted using the IBM SPSS 20.0 statistical program over 412 survey forms that were returned from the participants. As a result of these analyses, it was found that participants exhibited less personal and deviant behaviors (dimensions of organizational deviance behavior) as their levels of social competence (dimensions of political competence) increased. In addition, it has also been observed that meritocracy has a regulatory role in the impact of political skill on organizational deviation.
