ABSTRAKMeskipun peranannya semakin strategis dalam lansekap global maupun nasional, dinamika internal dalam manajemen Non Governmental Organization (NGO) masih sangat sedikit diteliti. Melalui data kuantitatif dari 64 responden yang dianalisa dengan metode Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), penelitian ini menganalisa efek moderasi perception of organization politic dalam hubungan antara political skill dan career success. Sebagai temuannya, political skill tidak secara signifikan berhubungan dengan career success dan bahwa perception of organization politic memoderasi hubungan kedua variabel tersebut dalam tingkat yang tidak signifikan. Temuan ini dapat menjadi panduan bagi praktisi yang terlibat dalam aktivitas manajemen sebuah LSM serta sebagai penelitian awalan telah membuka ruang bagi munculnya penelitian-penelitian lain dengan tema sejenis pada area yang meskipun demikian penting, belum banyak diekplorasi ini.
