We adopt a multi-foci perspective to provide a theory-driven quantitative review of employee counterproductive workplace behaviors (CWBs) by meta-analyzing the relationships between CWB and four groups of antecedents. Specifically, CWB antecedents stemming from four sources—supervisors, organization, coworkers, and private life—were included to investigate differences in their relationships with employee CWB. Based on the Conservation of Resources Theory, we argue that favorable and unfavorable correlates relate to employee CWB to different degrees. The meta-analysis included 181 field studies with 223 independent samples. Results indicated that unfavorable antecedents correlate more strongly with CWB than favorable antecedents. We also found that supervisor- and organization-related antecedents have stronger relationships with CWB than those from the two other groups. Implications include a deeper understanding of which situational factors relate the most—or least—to CWB which can help better address CWB in the workplace.

我们采用多焦点视角，通过对CWB与四类先行者之间的关系进行元分析，对员工的适得其反的工作场所行为（CWB）提供了理论驱动的定量评估。具体来说，CWB的前身来自四个方面，分别是主管，组织，同事和私人生活，以调查他们与员工CWB的关系的差异。基于资源节约理论，我们认为有利和不利的关系在不同程度上与员工CWB相关。荟萃分析包括181个现场研究和223个独立样本。结果表明，不利条件与CWB的相关性强于有利条件。我们还发现，与主管和组织相关的前辈与CWB的关系比其他两个组更紧密。含义包括更深入地了解哪些情境因素与CWB关联最多（或最少），这有助于更好地解决工作场所中的CWB。
