Abstract Details

This study examined the relationship between other-oriented perfectionism, when applied to organizations, and self-reported likelihood of engagement in prosocial behaviors, counterproductive work behaviors, and turnover intentions within an organization. It was proposed that there would be a negative relationship between other-oriented perfectionism and likelihood of prosocial behaviors, and a positive relationship between turnover intentions and likelihood of counterproductive work behaviors. A sample of 95 MTurk workers participated in this study. First, participants were given a vignette describing an organization that experienced a loss of reputation. Then the participants were given measures of prosocial behaviors, counterproductive work behaviors, and turnover intentions, and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Contrary to the hypotheses, results indicated no significant correlation between other-oriented perfectionism and counterproductive work behaviors or turnover intentions. There was a significant positive relationship between other-oriented perfectionism and prosocial behaviors, which was also contrary to hypotheses. Future research should attempt to replicate these findings and focus on more positive aspects of perfectionism.
