Summary:We investigate the role of organisational politics (i.e., general political behaviour, going along to get ahead and pay and promotion policies) and political skill on the relationship between non‐financial performance measures and job performance, relying on a sample of manufacturing firms in China. Results suggest that non‐financial performance measures positively affect managers' job performance, and non‐financial performance measures reduce general political behaviour and pay and promotion policies. Results further suggest that managers' political skill positively affects job performance, and political skill also moderates the relationships between (1) general political behaviour and (2) pay and promotion policies, and job performance.
