Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationships between supervisor-based ostracism and ingratiatory and extra-role behaviors in Pakistan, with job insecurity and political skills playing moderating and mediating roles, respectively. The supervisor-based ostracism, ingratiatory, as well as extra-role behaviors were hypothesized to have the direct correlations with one another. The survey was administered and data analyzed through different statistical procedures in order to examine the desired relationship among the research variables. The results provide significant information that helps in reaching the desired conclusion. The findings showed that with the exception of political skills, all of the variables have significant positive relationships; supervisor-based ostracism has a positive relationship with the ingratiatory behaviors that lead to extra role behaviors; and job insecurity and political skills moderate effects of dependent variables. Thus, based upon the results of study, certain recommendations have been extracted for policy makers as well as future researchers along with provision of managerial and theoretical implications.
