The concept of organizational cronyism has been investigated to explain different concepts in\nthe literature. In this study, we aim at researching the influence of organizational cronyism on\norganizational commitment of individuals and explain how the influence differentiates their\ncareer satisfaction or frustration with work perception of individuals. Therefore, we focused\non government officials working in a public institution and examine their perception of\ncronyism in the organization. Having gathered the data from 193 government officials,\nconfirmatory as well as explanatory factor analyses initially was initially conducted on the\nscales of organizational cronyism, organizational commitment, career satisfaction and\nfrustration with work. After controlling the validity and reliability of the scales, measurement\nmodel and structural model testing were carried out. Results indicated that organizational\ncommitment partially mediated the relationship between organizational cronyism and career\nsatisfaction. In addition, organizational commitment partially mediated the relationship\nbetween organizational cronyism and frustration with work.
