Özet

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in empirical research on counterproductive work behavior (CWB), owing to its widespread prevalence among employees and its adverse effects on organizations and individuals. Despite the abundance of research on this topic, no comprehensive effort has been made to provide an integrative review to reveal the development of this body of knowledge. The objective of this study is to scrutinize the literature on CWB, identifying the most influential publications, leading universities, the most prolific and highly cited scholars, and seminal studies in the field. The Web of Science (WoS) database was systematically searched from 2001 to 2023 using bibliometric analysis. The findings revealed that interest in CWB, primarily within the disciplines of management, business, and psychology, continues to exhibit a sustained upward trend. The analysis indicates a significant increase in publications on counterproductive work behavior (CWB) since 2001, with the USA emerging as the most productive and influential countries based on publication and citation metrics.
