Managers’ and Senior Executives’ Perceptions of Frequency and Type of Employee-Perpetrated Information Sabotage and Their Attitudes toward It - The Results of a Pilot Study
John C. Hafer, George Gresham · Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management · 2012
A pilot study investigating information sabotage found most responding managers and senior executives polled feel that most forms of sabotage are considered as grounds for termination. Respondents know sabotage occurs in their companies and many personally know someone who has committed sabotage. One in five respondents reported having been a victim, half know employees who have been victimized and a third know of other managers and customers who have been victimized. Findings are discussed. Firm size was not related to occurrence, attitudes or victimization rate.
