| This study aimed to explain the mediating role of organizational trust in the relationship between managers' conflict management strategies and employees' political behavior at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. The statistical population consisted of all 234 administrative employees of the university during the 2022–2023 academic year. Using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table, a sample of 144 participants was determined and selected through simple random sampling, ensuring equal selection probability for all population members. Of the distributed questionnaires, 140 usable responses were retained for the final statistical analyses. This applied study employed a descriptive, correlational-analytical design based on structural equation modeling. Data were collected using the Organizational Trust Questionnaire of Kanawattanachai and Yu (2002), the Conflict Management Questionnaire of Putnam and Wilson (1994), and a researcher-developed Political Behavior Questionnaire. The reliability of the instruments was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results revealed a significant negative relationship between managers' conflict management strategies and organizational trust, as well as between organizational trust and employees' political behavior. No significant direct relationship was found between conflict management strategies and political behavior. However, conflict management strategies exerted a significant indirect and positive effect on political behavior through the mediating role of organizational trust, indicating that organizational trust fully mediated this relationship. The findings suggest that managers' conflict management strategies do not directly predict employees' political behavior; rather, this influence is transmitted entirely through organizational trust. Strengthening trust-building processes is therefore essential for reducing destructive political behavior in academic institutions. | ||
