| Abstract: | The current study, supported by equity theory of motivation, explores how gender moderates perceived organizational politics effects on psychological and physical organizational withdrawal behaviors of professionals within the construction sector, a field characterized by a challenging work environment and high employee turnover. Quantitative data were collected from 318 construction professionals and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that perceived organizational politics significantly and positively impacts both psychological and physical withdrawal behaviors among construction professionals. Further, gender moderates this relationship, with female professionals showing a greater tendency to disengage compared to their male counterparts. This research contributes to the construction management literature by highlighting the gender effects of organizational politics on employee withdrawal, a previously underexplored area. The study underscores the critical need for organizations to address political dynamics in the workplace to foster a fair and supportive environment, ultimately enhancing employee well-being and organizational performance.
