This systematic review defines negative work behaviors (NWBs) by analyzing 489 studies. It integrates overlapping and unique elements from 16 NWB labels into a new, theory-based research model.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Occupational Health Psychology
Background:
- Negative work behaviors (NWBs) lack a unified definition, hindering research.
- Existing operationalizations vary, necessitating a comprehensive review.
Approach:
- A systematic literature review following the Prisma framework.
- Searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for relevant studies.
- Analyzed 489 studies to identify and categorize NWBs.
Key Points:
- Identified 16 frequently studied NWB labels (e.g., bullying, aggression).
- NWBs were categorized by behavior type, harm, and actor.
- Overlapping and unique elements were extracted for integration.
Conclusions:
- Developed a new integrative definition of NWBs.
- Proposed a theory-based research model for future NWB studies.
