FACTORS AFFECTING COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WORK BEHAVIOR IN ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

An investigation of the variables affecting counterproductive work behavior (CWB) in organizations is presented in this thesis. Examining the roles that job satisfaction and supervisor support play in influencing this behavior is at the heart of this research. The study is based on an extensive survey-based research methodology that collected responses from a heterogeneous cohort of participants in different parts of the world, such as the USA, Canada, and the UK. Understanding CWB in modern workplaces is made easier by the demographic variety that includes a wide range of genders, races, and job statuses. The important findings of this research provide insights that job satisfaction and supervisor support may affect CWB. According to the findings of this research, supervisor support is positively correlated with job satisfaction and negatively correlated with CWB. The study also emphasizes the crucial role that job satisfaction plays as a mediator.
