Abstract

This study examines employees' attitudes toward the phenomenon of the organizational misbehavior among personnel in the University of Kurdistan. The study consists of two parts: qualitative and quantitative research. In the qualitative phase, semi-organized interviews were used to examine attitudes of the staff about organizational misbehavior. In the quantitative phase, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to examine the indexes of organizational-oriented and staff-oriented misbehavior. The research population included all 202 staff of Kurdistan University. The results of the interviews showed that the employees identified behaviors such as keeping the customers waiting for a long time and abusing the facilities of the organization for private and personal use as cases of organizational misbehavior. Quantitative analysis administered by statistical techniques such as; t-test, ANOVA, and Friedman tests showed that behaviors such as administrative and financial lack of discipline, keeping the customers waiting and justifying their activities had higher rates than other instances. Also the average of male employees’ opinions regarding organizational misbehavior was higher than the average of the opinions of female employees, which showed that male employees convict more such attitudes than female staff. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between the attitudes of employees and their educational backgrounds/degrees towards the phenomenon of the misbehavior.
