Fowler Ave., BSN 3404, Tampa, FL 33620 Political skill is a construct that was introduced more than two decades ago as a necessary com- petency to possess to be effective in organizations. Unfortunately, despite appeals by organiza- tional scientists to further develop this construct, it lay dormant until very recently. The present article defines and characterizes the construct domain of political skill and embeds it in a cog- nition–affect–behavior, multilevel, meta-theoretical framework that proposes how political skill operates to exercise effects on both self and others in organizations. Implications of this con- ceptualization are discussed, as are directions for future research and practical implications.
