There has been a growing interest among scholars in the fields of
organizational behaviour and industrial psychology in what can be
termed "the dark side of the organizations." A main concept in this
regard this is both important and relevant counterproductive work
behaviours (CWBs), which can be defined as deliberate actions that
harm the organization or its members. These behaviours include a
variety of acts that can be directed toward organizations (CWB-O)
or toward other people (CWB-P). Destroying organizational property,
purposely doing work incorrectly, and taking unauthorized work
breaks are examples of CWB-O, whereas hitting a co-worker,
insulting others, and shouting at someone are forms of CWB-P.
Despite the growing interest in CWBs as a research issue, not
enough is known about the determinants of CWBs. The goal of
Counterproductive Work Behaviors therefore is to cover this
stimulating, important, and innovative issue of dark triad
personalities in the workplace. The book will deal with important
aspects of this issue, such as the characteristics of dark triad
personalities, how they operate and damage organizations, what
organizations are more vulnerable to them, ways to diagnose and
detect them, and ways to handle dark triad personalities and
prevent them from harming organizations and employees. There is no
doubt that the issues covered by Counterproductive Work Behaviors
will continue to attract academic attention and therefore the book
is essential reading for researchers, academics and business
professionals alike in the fields of Organizational Studies and
Behaviour, Organizational Psychology, Strategy, Human Resource
Management, Leadership and the related disciplines.
