Abstract

This study's bibliometric analysis evaluates the scope and trends of theory-related policy publications in various international journals. The method used the Scopus search engine on random journals in identifying policy-related publications. The study also used a data visualization software called VOSviewer to analyze the results, underlying network linkages, and information production trends in policy analysis. The findings shows that only a few proportions of policy-related researches apply theories in their study. Field-specialized journals were having practitioners publish less research as compared to interdisciplinary science and technology journals. This article calls for greater engagements among scholars, and for policy researchers to more explicitly consider how their work might contribute to the understanding of the policy challenges. The findings also shows that it is important to recognize the approach and theory behind policy development to determine the incremental nature of aspects involved in policy development. It is extremely valuable to be clear that if one deals only with conceptual level of policy research without testing those ideas against independent empirical information, then scientific theory development is not possible. Thus, failure to consistently and clearly make theory connection towards policy research is a lost opportunity for scholars to influence policy thinking and public argument. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01261 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research examines the influence of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Perceived Organizational Politics (POP), and the mediating role of Public Service Motivation (PSM) on this relationship. An online survey was administered to 85 employees of the Department of Health Zamboanga Peninsula - Center for Health Development in Zamboanga City. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and mediation analyses in Jamovi. The results showed that, while the direct relationship between POS and POP was weak and non-significant, PSM was positively correlated with both constructs. The mediation analysis revealed that PSM acted as a suppressor variable, counteracting the negative effect of POS on POP, indicating that POS paradoxically heightened employees’ sensitivity to organizational politics. Although the findings were limited by sample size and homogeneity, they provided critical insights into employee perceptions in public sector organizations. The results offered a nuanced view of the conventional relationship between POS and POP as opposites along a single continuum; instead, a parallel relationship is possible, especially for employees with high PSM.
