(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies University of Kelaniya., 2024-11-11) Mayuran, L.; Thasika, T; Manjula, S
This study assesses the importance of organizational politics in shaping employee commitment, emphasizing the complex interactions between perceived politics and individual characteristics. Specifically, we examined the moderating role of political skills in the relationship between perceived politics and employee commitment. The specific impact of political skills on employee commitment related to organizational politics is an unexplored area, particularly in Sri Lanka. Therefore, this research aims to bridge this gap by not only examining the negative relationship between organizational politics and employee commitment but also clarifying the moderating effect of political skills. The present study focuses on public sector employees in Sri Lanka. Out of 400 questionnaires distributed, a total of 211 questionnaires were returned and usable. We used a convenience sampling method to capture the complexity of this relationship. The study revealed a significant negative relationship between perceived politics and employee commitment. Furthermore, our findings highlight the significant role of political abilities as a moderator, demonstrating how individuals' confidence in their abilities moderates the effects of perceived politics on commitment. Therefore, political skills positively moderate the relationship between organizational politics and employee commitment. Our study underscores the importance of organizations recognizing and mitigating the adverse effects of organizational politics on employee commitment. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of considering individual characteristics such as political skills to effectively understand and manage workplace dynamics. This research contributes to both theoretical advances and practical implications for organizational management and human resource practices.

(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2024) Mayuran, L.; Thasika, T.; Vibeeshana, V.
Sri Lanka has always been a breeding ground for prosperous migrants, and in recent decades, millions of Sri Lankans have left the country either permanently or temporarily in search of work. Thus, this research aims to examine how organizational injustice affects migration intentions and how job embeddedness influences the relationship between organizational injustice and migration intentions. The current study adds to the body of knowledge by examining Job embeddedness as a moderator and connecting organizational injustice with migratory aspirations in a developing, non-Western country (Sri Lanka) in a new context. This study surveyed the individuals who are labelled as skilled workforce currently employed. From 230 questionnaires distributed, 200 responses were received. The study found organizational injustice and migration intention-desire are positively correlated. The effects of job embeddedness on organizational injustice and migration intention were found to interact significantly. It was discovered that participants' intentions to migrate and organizational unfairness were negatively impacted by their higher Job embeddedness scores.
Influence of Performance-prove Goal Orientation on Knowledge Hiding among Undergraduates in Sri Lankan Universities
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Sabnam, R.; Mayuran, L.
Knowledge hiding is ubiquitous among graduate students, which impedes knowledge sharing and transfer, and influences knowledge learning and scientific research. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, Sri Lanka is also not the exception to the worldwide phenomenon of knowledge hiding which is yet to be explored in more detail. This study, which draws from 200 Sri Lankan undergraduates, emphasizes that performance prove goal orientation directly influences knowledge hiding. Furthermore, the findings of this study imply that undergraduates who focus on group feedback will also have a high level of knowledge hiding when a high level of performance proves goal orientation. Accordingly, it is also concluded that undergraduates who focus on individual feedback will not have a high level of knowledge hiding when a high level of performance proves goal orientation. The study also highlights the insights that motivate the student in such a way as to enhance the knowledge-sharing behavior and practice among the students.
