Abstract Suggestions are one of the key factors for organization development. However, it is often found that employees' upward suggestions are negatively treated by colleagues in the organization. According to the attribution theory, this paper constructs a regulatory mediation theory model to analyze this phenomenon. The analysis results of the questionnaire survey data of 319 employees at two time points well support the model. The study finds that employees' upward suggestions indirectly and positively affect the colleague's incivility to themselves through the intermediary effect of colleague attribution. The occurrence of this indirect effect is positively regulated by the colleague's organizational political sense. Specifically, employees' upward suggestions can be regarded as flattering behavior by colleagues with high perception of organizational politics, and these colleagues will be rude to these employees because of this attribution.
