Antisocial behavior in organizations; a conceptual analysis and review.

Keywords: Antisocial behavior in organizations, conterproductive behavior at work, devious behavior at work

Abstract

Taking into account the existing conceptual diversity for the study of antisocial behaviors within organizations, the present text, shows a review and theoretical analysis. From the conceptual panorama shown, some criticisms will be made about the tendency to be studied under the name of counterproductive behaviors at work and behavior sent at work and its implications regarding a vision that divides the organization and its members or workers, where the direction in which these behaviors occurs is marked; worker towards the organization, mainly attributed to specific personality traits to certain working conditions. Finally, considerations are raised for future works in relation to antisocial behaviors in organizations from a social perspective, in which ways are contemplated that do not only take into account the individual issues of the problem.
