Abstract
Although prior research has demonstrated that perceived organizational politics were positively related to employee turnover intention, however, little is known about possible causal explanations for the relationship between the two variables. To address this gap, a longitudinal design was employed to examine the relationship between perceived organizational politics and employee turnover intention with data collected over a two-year time period. Specifically, one hundred and seventy five Registered Nurses from government hospitals in Nigeria completed measures of perceived organizational politics and employee turnover intention at 2 times 16 months apart. There was empirical evidence, based on results of longitudinal regression analyses to support either the hypothesis that perceived organizational politics increases employee turnover intention or the hypothesis that employee turnover intention lead to organizational politics. However, employee turn over intention. and perceived organizational politics were found to change instantaneously. Implications of the results are discussed

Summary
Employee turnover is prevalence and has become a major concern of every organization. In the United States of America (U.S.A.), about 7.7% of the full time faculty members from various universities and colleges had left their posts for other institutions in 1997/1998 academic session. Of these faculty members, only 29% were retirees, while the remaining 71% have left their institutions for variety of reasons (Sanderson, Phua, & Herda, 2000). Munzali and Obaje (2008) reported that about 64% of the required number of teaching staff from various universities in Nigeria have left for western industrialized countries, such as USA, United Kingdom (UK), Southern Africa and Middle East countries, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman, among others
