This study reviews the definition of counterproductive work behavior, its mechanism of action, and its effects, and analyzes the possibility of different types of stressors leading to counterproductive work behavior in the context of modern society. This study lists three main types of stressors: organizational constraints, interpersonal conflict, and organizational injustice, discusses their definitions and analyzes their causes through different perspectives, in the psychological perspective, reference is made to Lazarus and Folkman’s Psychological Stress and Coping Theory. In addition, this study also mentions some related mechanisms and interventions that may regulate stressors, namely growth mindset, self-efficacy, mindfulness, and yoga, which have also been proposed, but more discussion and research are needed in this area.
