Far too simplistic

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

"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?

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.

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 (talk • contribs) 18:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
