Abstract

The study explores the effects of Machiavellianism on political behavior and career development while emotional labor as a moderator among a sample of Chinese public servants. Our quantitative data support that Machiavellianism has positive effect on public servants´ political behavior and promotes female public servants to advance up the organizational ladder, however, it hinders male public servants´ career development. Moreover, emotional labor moderates the relationship between Machiavellianism and promotion times of male public servants. Corresponding implications of the results are discussed.
