Anti-Citizenship Behavior, Employee Deviant Behavior, Organizational Misbehavior, Dysfunctional Organizational Behavior, and Counterproductive Work Behavior: A Review, Synthesis and Research Suggestions

摘要

Several different definitions and categorizations of dysfunctional behavior within organizations have been identified in the literature. Most of these are broad and include widely different types of dysfunctional behavior within a single category. This paper proposes a three-dimensional model of dysfunctional behavior, focusing on the organization and/or its members of targets of these behaviors. A more precise categorization scheme may lead to more accurate measures of these behaviors and serve to focus future research. Important measurement issues are also discussed.
