About This Course

This course offers a vital exploration of counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and their far-reaching effects on organizational well-being.

You will gain a deep understanding of what constitutes CWB, ranging from subtle incivility and interpersonal aggression to more overt forms of harassment, bullying, theft, and sabotage.

We delve into the psychological and environmental antecedents, examining how stressors, emotions, and self-control influence these actions.

The course introduces various theoretical models for classifying CWB and presents evidence-based interventions like fostering civility and cultivating a forgiveness climate.

By completing this program, you will be equipped to identify, analyze, and proactively address harmful behaviors, contributing to the creation of a respectful, inclusive, and psychologically safe workplace for all.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
