Abstract

This research aims to investigate the relationship between workplace ostracism, organizational cynicism, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) within the Multimedia Community of Wonosobo Regency, using the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory. The research method employed is quantitative with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 members of the Multimedia Community in Wonosobo. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 21 statistical tool. The results of the study indicate that workplace ostracism has a significant positive impact on counterproductive work behavior. Organizational cynicism serves as a significant mediator in the relationship between workplace ostracism and counterproductive work behavior. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of management efforts in addressing workplace ostracism and reducing organizational cynicism to minimize counterproductive work behavior.
