Examining the Relationship between the Presence of Legalism in an Organization and Counterproductive Employee Behavior in the Industry and Mine Bank

Abstract

Given that the respected officials of the Industry and Mine Bank consider human resources as the bank's primary capital and regard them as one of the main factors in achieving organizational goals, they continually emphasize improving the quality of employees' work life. Since counterproductive employee behaviors, whether interpersonal or organizational, are deliberate and conscious actions that harm the organization and reduce efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately hindering the organization from achieving its set goals, and since a bank is a financial institution where such behaviors can cause irreparable damage, this study examines the relationship between the presence of legalism in the organization and counterproductive employee behavior in the Industry and Mine Bank. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of method. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, and it was ultimately determined that the presence of legalism among the employees of the Industry and Mine Bank reduces counterproductive behaviors in the organization.
