Employee behavior can be classified into those that benefit the organization and those that harm it. The first one positively contributes to organizational performance.

The research strategy was interpretive phenomenology and the participants were petrochemical workers and technologists. Sampling was done purposefully and based on theoretical saturation, which was achieved after interviewing 21 people. The results of this study led to the presentation of a model with 6 main dimensions (individual reverse behavior, occupational reverse behavior, political reverse behavior, organizational reverse behavior, interpersonal reverse behavior and selfish reverse behavior) for reverse behaviors.interviews.
