Work behavior

Work behavior is a term used to describe the behavior one uses in employment and is normally more formal than other types of human behavior. This varies from profession to profession, as some are far more casual than others. For example, a computer programmer would usually have far more leeway in their work behavior than a lawyer.

People are usually more careful than outside of work in how they behave around their colleagues, as many actions intended to be in jest can be perceived as inappropriate or even harassment in the work environment. In some cases, men may take considerably more care so as not to be perceived as being sexually harassing than they would ordinarily.

Counterproductive work behavior

Counterproductive work behaviour is also a type of work behaviour.Most of the people do not know what counterproductive work behaviour is^[1].Even people do not recognize this behaviour, it seems normal to them.Here are some examples in order to understand what counterproductive behaviour is:

1. When someone is ignoring people at work.
2. When people work slowly and the work needs to be done fast.
3. When people refuse to help their colleagues.
4. When people refuse to accept a task.
5. When people show less interest in their work.
6. When People show distructive behaviour against their colleagues.
7. When people do not appreciate their colleague's success.

These are the examples of counterproductive behaviour that people confront in their daily life.
