Self administered instruments such as Counterproductive Work Behavior Indicator (CWB), Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI) and Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS) along with the Personal Data Sheet were administered to participants at their work place. Results indicate that there exist a significant positive relationship between organizational culture and organizational commitment, organizational culture and counterproductive work behavior and organizational commitment and counterproductive work behavior. The result of mediation analysis indicated that organizational commitment mediates the relationship between organizational culture and counterproductive work behavior.
