Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify the dimensions of counterproductive work behaviors. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents results of a questionnaire-based survey conducted among 385 working students of a private college of higher education in July 2021. The starting point was division into five categories of counterproductive work behaviors. The dimensions have been investigated in a iterative process. Findings: An important conclusion is certain departure from the recreated dimensions in comparison with the five-factor model of counterproductive behaviors proposed by Spector. Thus, there appears physical aggression as a separately interpreted factor. Research limitations/implications: Participation in the survey was voluntary. This limits representativeness. It is worth drawing attention to the basic limitation of this research, which is changeability of organizational behaviors at the time of connecting them with, among others, social acceptance (or a lack of such acceptance) or encouragement (or a lack of encouragement) of counterproductive work behaviors. Social implications: A disregard for societal norms leads to antisocial behavior. All described behaviors contain a degree of malevolency that directly affects interpersonal behavior. Practical implications: Measurement and taxonomy of the multifaceted, negative phenomenon which detrimental behaviors in organizations are, seem indispensable in order to work out effective methods of preventing such acts. This will have a flow-on effect in regards to performance at work. Originality/value: Original contribution of the content to the body of knowledge. The results of this study encourage further discussion on physical aggression as a separately interpreted factor. (original abstract)
