The concept of politics in organizations is more related with a dysfunctional role as employees pursuit for their own benefits regardless of achieving an organizational goal. Recently, a new concept, which emerged in the aspect of individual ability related politics in organizations, is political skills. The concept in the previous studies has been proved as an importance component for productive behaviors of employees. As well as researches in this area has focused primarily on the political ability of supervisors in order to reduce negative reactions of followers. In this paper, the author designed the research model about constructive roles such as voluntary behaviors of subordinates by supervisor political skills. In accordance with the research design, the concept of supervisors political skills is independent variable, work engagement and rational political behavior of subordinates are mediators, and organizational citizenship behavior in the individual level and voice behavior are outcome variables. The purposes of research model were to demonstrate the impacts of supervisors political skills to work engagement, national political behavior of subordinates, organizational citizenship behavior in the individual level, and voice behavior. As well as the casual effects of work engagement and rational political behavior of subordinates to outcome variables were tested. Moreover, the mediating effects of work engagement and national political behavior of subordinates were verified in the links supervisors political skills and outcome variables. The questionnaire was designed to assess all variables with self-report methods. The data applied in the analysis collected from 259 employee's who have worked for local government, government owned companies, and privately-owned companies in Jeju province. The designed model for the current research was analyzed with SPSS package. The results were as follows. First, the impacts of supervisors political skills were positively associated with work engagement, national political behavior of subordinates, organizational citizenship behavior in the individual level, and voice behavior respectively. Work engagement and rational political behavior of subordinates were positively related to outcome variables (organizational citizenship behavior in the individual level and voice behavior) in all path. The hypothesis of mediating effects were supported in all mediating path. The types of mediation in the path were different. The processes of supervisors political skills→work engagement/rational political behavior of subordinates→OCB-individual were partially mediated, whereas political skills→work engagement/rational political behavior of subordinates→voice behavior were fully mediated. The implications of present study were as follows in academy and in practice. First, the results of which supervisors political skills affect subordinates voluntary behaviors for the organizations shows that supervisors political skills are needed to develop and increase for the purpose of facilitating potential positive behaviors of employees for the organizations. Second, the importance of work engagement and rational political behavior of subordinates to OCB-individual and voice behaviors helps to understand that to produce positive behaviors for organizations, contemporary organizations are required for efforts to enhance work engagement and rational political behavior of subordinates institutionally. Third, the mechanisms by work engagement and rational political behaviors of subordinates in the links between supervisors political skills and outcome variables contribute to expand research area in political behaviors and work engagement.
