In recent years, although China has developed at top speed in economy, the domestic enterprises’ management also becomes more scientific and normative, the influence of the vestiges of thousands of years’ feudalism and totalitarianism in Chinese culture makes the political behaviors become the lingering shadow in Chinese enterprises. The common organizational political behaviors in companies in China will cause their employees develop corresponding perceptions of organizational politics, which inevitably affect their attitude and behaviors. As a kind of negative behaviors, counterproductive work behaviors’ universality and strong destructive effect makes it increasingly become a concerned topic in Chinese academia and industry. This paper selects employees’ perceptions of organizational politics as independent variable, research the impacts on their counterproductive work behaviors.At present, studies about the relationship between the employees’ perceptions of organizational politics and counterproductive work behaviors are rare to be known in China, either the studies about the internal mechanism. The differences of the individuals’ behaviours caused by the differences of their value orientations under the same perception of organizational politics haven’t been considered yet.Therefore, in order to enrich the existing theories and to provide guidance for the management practice, this paper does empirical research on the impacts of perceptions of organizational politics on counterproductive work behaviors, the intermediary role of organizational commitment, and the moderating effect of Chinese modernity in China.This paper puts forward the research hypothesis and theoretical model on the basis of reviewing related literature and theories about the research variables.
