Far too simplistic

[edit]

Probably most CWB is caused by incivility and bullying and the employer/managers are probably responsible for most of it, unintentionally or otherwise, because of their underlying psychopathology.--Penbat (talk) 10:06, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

problem with this article

[edit]

"It has been found that lower performance, lack of reward contingencies for performance, and better external job opportunities."

what has been found ?


"Accidents are a serious and costly form of counterproductive behavior." accident isn't a behavior !!!

Yes it is a poorly developed article although the subject itself is very interesting. I am doing more work on this article so it should improve. --Penbat (talk) 09:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CWBs can be productive?

[edit]

http://psycnet.apa.org/?&fa=main.doiLanding&doi=10.1037/a0018349 This referenced study for whether CWBs can be productive only looked at two types of CWBs, but the article asserted that CWBs may be productive, according to the referenced study. I changed the article by adding the word 'some' so that some CWBs may be productive, but the article should be improved further by mentioning which CWBs were studied, and what the outcome of the study was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dangby (talkcontribs) 18:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, consider the 'stress bell curve'. If the worker is past the high performance area in terms of stress and expectations, 'CWBs' will help them drop back into the high performance zone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.231.157.115 (talk) 21:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*So* not a thing (SNAT)

[edit]

This has to be one of the best examples of the worst kind of nonsense dreamed up by second rate psychology academics and HR professionals. CWB is SNAT. This article should never have been written, but now that it has it should be deleted without mercy. As it stands, it’s just another thing ruining Wikipedia’s already dying reputation. 70.112.38.105 (talk)

Written entirely from a capitalist perspective

[edit]

This article assumes that all readers accept the premise that private businesses have an ethical right to pursue maximum productivity, when in reality that’s not something everyone who is going to read this article believes. I don’t know exactly how NPOV can be achieved with this article, but I felt like the article never acknowledged that not everyone sees some of these behaviors (specifically “cyber loafing”, “production deviance” and to some extent lateness) as actual problems in the context of capitalism, with some people seeing these as valid methods of pushing back when presented with unreasonable or excessive demands. Maybe a “motivations” section that explains why an employee might choose to engage in the 3 behaviors I outlined would help?

Educational Attainment != Cognitive Ability

[edit]

The PCA chart in the following paper demonstrates that EA has a component more akin to stability (Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability). If so then stability x Cog might have a negative correlation with CWB (stable low cognition OR neurotic high cognition). https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.01.072348v1.full.pdf
