About This Course

This course offers a vital exploration of counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and their far-reaching effects on organizational well-being.

You will gain a deep understanding of what constitutes CWB, ranging from subtle incivility and interpersonal aggression to more overt forms of harassment, bullying, theft, and sabotage.

We delve into the psychological and environmental antecedents, examining how stressors, emotions, and self-control influence these actions.

The course introduces various theoretical models for classifying CWB and presents evidence-based interventions like fostering civility and cultivating a forgiveness climate.

By completing this program, you will be equipped to identify, analyze, and proactively address harmful behaviors, contributing to the creation of a respectful, inclusive, and psychologically safe workplace for all.
