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.
