Abstract: Ingratiation behaviors could be divided into self-focused and others-focused ones. Based on the relevant studies both at home and abroad, a study was done on self-focused ingratiation behavior and it was found that such behavior in China involved two sub-dimensions, i.e., moral-related and capability-related promotion. Then, a self-focused ingratiation behavior scale was developed and verified. Moreover, this study examined the effect of organizational justice and perceptions of organizational politics on ingratiation behavior. The results showed that organizational justice positively impacts both others-focused and self-focused ingratiation behaviors, and perceptions of organizational politics are negatively related to self-focused ingratiation behavior whereas there exists a weak relationship between perceptions of organizational politics and others-focused ingratiation behavior.

Key words: ingratiation behavior, organizational justice, perception of organizational politics
