Counterproductive work behavior, organizational culture and organizational commitment in relation to perceived organizational variables

This study was designed with an objective to find out whether counterproductive work behavior, organizational culture and organizational commitment exist in relation to perceived organizational variables such as training facilities, promotion policies, supervisors and working condition. There were 141 participants from various branches of two governmental organizations (73 from organization 1 and 68 from organization 2) selected by means of simple random sampling. Self administered instruments such as Counterproductive Work Behavior Indicator (CWB), Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI) and Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS) along with the Personal Data Sheet wherein participant responded about the training facilities, promotion policies, supervisors and working condition were administered to participants at their work place. Results indicate that there exist a significant influence over organizational culture and commitment by training facilities and supervisors in an organization. Organizational commitment can be significantly influenced by the promotion policies followed by the organization. Working condition significantly influences organizational culture, organizational commitment and counterproductive work behavior.
