PSYU 481 Brandman University Counterproductive Work Behaviors Essay see attached documents for detailed instructions on the requirements of the paper. I have also provided the rubric so you know exactly what is being graded. Many organizations struggle with counterproductive work behaviors. In this assignment, you
will be required to describe a real life example of a counterproductive work behavior. This can
be from a personal experience or you can find one that has been described in the news. Then,
find and summarize two sources that address how organizations can address that particular
behavior.
Your Dark Side of Performance Paper should include the following:
1. Title page in APA format
2. Abstract
3. Introduction
4. Description of behavior
5. Solutions to eliminate behavior
6. Conclusion
7. Reference list
Title Page
Must be in APA format (6th edition).
Must include a running head and page number
Type your title in upper and lowercase letters centered in the upper half of the page. APA
recommends that your title be no more than 12 words in length and that it should not
contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose.
All text on the title page should be double-spaced. Beneath the title, type your name: first
name, middle initial(s), and last name. Do not use titles (Dr.) or degrees (PhD).
Beneath the author’s name, type the institutional affiliation (Brandman University), which
should indicate the location where the author(s) conducted the research
Abstract
An abstract provides a brief overview of what is included in your paper.
It should cover the major components of your paper.
The abstract should be between 150 and 250 words.
The abstract should be on the page after the title page and should be on its own page.
Your abstract page should already include the page header (all capitals, without the term
“running head”).
Introduction
This should be a minimum of 100 words.
Clearly describe the behavior you have selected.
Provide a definition of that behavior in the introduction and cite it.
You may use the textbook for a definition of the behavior.
2
The introduction should clearly establish the organization of the paper.
Section 1: Description of Behavior
This should be a minimum of 300 words.
NOTE: This needs to be a different example (scenario) from the one you are using in your
final paper.
If you are using a personal example, state that it is a personal example.
Do not use first person, even if you are using a personal example. Write in third person.
If you are speaking about another person, be sure to protect his or her identity.
If you are writing about an event that you found in the news, be sure to cite your source.
Section 2: Solutions to Eliminate the Behavior
This should be a minimum of 300 words.
You should have at least 2 solutions.
Find 2 sources that provide information on how organizations can counteract the
counterproductive work behavior you have described. Your textbook does not count as one
of these sources.
These sources do not have to come from professional journals, but need to come from
reputable sites.
Summarize the solutions you found and why they could be effective in stopping
counterproductive work behaviors.
Provide evidence that these solutions are successful.
Note that the solutions should be not be too general. For example, “managers should
listen” would not be an acceptable solution. It is too general and there is no action to
change how managers interact with their subordinates.
Conclusion
This should be a minimum of 100 words.
Summarize why the behavior is detrimental to an organization.
Clearly connect the behavior to solutions.
Summarize why organizations need to address detrimental behaviors.
Reference Requirements
You must provide a reference list in 6th edition APA format of the sources you used in this
assignment.
Reputable sites often come from universities, government agencies, and should have
an author or authors with credentials in the field.
You may also use references that come from books, newspapers, or magazines.
You may not use Wikipedia as a source.
You may use your textbook in your introduction.
3
The reference list should begin on a new page.
Requirements for Writing Your Paper
1. Your paper has to be in 6th edition APA format.
2. Do not use papers you have written for other classes. The expectation is that you create
a new assignment. If you do use an assignment from another class, this will be
considered self-plagiarism and it will be treated as any other plagiarism case.
3. Make sure you cite everything in your solution component of the paper. None of this
should be your opinion. Ideas have to be cited as well as statistics and/or direct quotes.
4. Keep your biases out of the paper
