Signifying the relationship between counterproductive work behavior and firm's performance: the mediating role of organizational culture

Abstract

PurposeOrganizations are facing several challenges in the current challenging business environment. The current study explores how counterproductive work behavior (CWB) affects bio-medical companies' firm performance in Pakistan. The study considers the mediating role of organizational culture and its impact on CWB and a firm's performance.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. For data collection, 300 questionnaires were distributed among employees working in biomedical companies. Statistical analysis such as descriptive statistics, Pearson moment correlation and structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques was used to analyze the study variable's relationship and its effect on the firm's performance.FindingsThe study results revealed that CWB and organizational culture significantly influence firm performance directly and indirectly. Moreover, organizational culture partially mediates the relationship between CWB and companies' performance.Originality/valueThe current study plays a significant role in the firm's policy directions. There are limited research and information accessible to biomedical firms in Pakistan. Counterproductive job habits wind up becoming something that significantly affects the firm performance. This research adds to human resource management, corporate management and the business strategy literature.

Impact of Pricing and Product Information on Consumer Buying Behavior With Customer Satisfaction in a Mediating Role

“…The price factor is more relatable to consumer buying behavior than product packaging ( Jabarzare and Rasti-Barzoki, 2020 ; Huo et al, 2021 ). Product pricing has a greater influence than product packaging on the buyers’ decision processes ( Pratama and Suprapto, 2017 ; Abdullah et al, 2021 ). Innovation in product packaging also has a significant relationship with the consumer; however, if any organization wants to follow a strategy that is relevant to its product packaging, then there are several strategies for this kind of plan of action.…”

“…Packaging that is environmentally friendly has become increasingly important. As a result, marketers should place a high priority on this aspect and use best practices to the greatest possible extent, including the use of environmentally friendly recycled materials ( Deliza and MacFie, 2001 ; Abdullah et al, 2021 ; Mohsin et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Even though product pricing has a greater influence than product packaging on the decision process of a buyer ( Pratama and Suprapto, 2017 ; Abdullah et al, 2021 ), high prices in a highly competitive market can lose customers permanently due to the effect of increased pricing ( Kotler et al, 2012 ). While talking about the packaging of products, it should be kept in mind that packaging has a significant relationship on consumers and their decision making about product purchases ( Sadiq M. W. et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Nowadays, eco-friendly packaging is essential. Thus, advertisers should prioritize this factor and employ best practices to the maximum degree possible, including eco-friendly recyclable packaging ( Abdullah et al, 2021 ). Consumer buying behavior also has a lot to do with product selling and buying ( Brun et al, 2014 ), although some customers are not influenced by the packaging or labeling of products, buying is demand-driven or need-oriented by most consumers.…”

Evading the Entrepreneurship: A Study to Discover Implementable Online Approaches to Avoid Greenhouse Consequences

“…But, in repetition, very few inventions promoted in either way have evocative environmental impressions relative to greenhouse effect product usage (Ramus and Montiel, 2005). Although training has originated that green consumerism has slight or no properties on plummeting the environmental influences of consumption (Li et al, 2020b), most consumers may obtain their knowledge about green products from green marketing that aims to capture the green purchase intentions of the consumers (Sadiq et al, 2020b;Abdullah et al, 2021a). Education provided more evidence for the connection between green consumerism and more meaningful environmental behaviours.…”
