Abstract

Counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) is a concept that is gaining importance as it is costly to

organizations and detrimental to employee’s quality of work life. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects

of perceived corporate reputation (PCR) on CWB. Data drawn from 90 employees of companies in Marmara

Region of Turkey was used to test the relationship. Regression analyses indicate that PCR has negative effects on

three dimensions of CWB including abuse, production deviance and withdrawal. However, results did not show

any significant relationship between PCR, sabotage and theft dimensions of CWB.
