Presenting the model of toxic behavior employees in government organizations

 The suffering and pain caused by toxic behaviors has permeated not only human life but also organizational life. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to provide a model of toxic behavior of employees in the public sector.

 This research is basic in terms of purpose and mixed (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of method. In the qualitative phase of the research, a semi-structured interview was conducted through the foundation's data theory, and for this purpose, 13 people were selected purposefully and snowballed from experts and management experts in the public sector. And in the quantitative part, the validity and evaluation of the research model was evaluated through the model indicators in PLS software version 3. For this purpose, using a questionnaire and through multi-stage cluster sampling, 385 employees of government organizations were evaluated. Selection and questionnaire will be distributed among them and opinions will be asked.

 Based on the results of the research and data analysis, open coding, central coding, and selective coding were done in three stages, and then based on the foundation theory model (causal factors, main phenomenon, intervening conditions, contextual conditions, strategies and Results) The target model was developed. And based on the findings of structural equation modeling, the results showed that the measurement model has validity (divergent and convergent), reliability (Cronbach's alpha, shared and combined reliability) and appropriate quality. Also, the assumptions were confirmed in the structural model.

 The model of this research, in addition to enriching the literature on the toxic behavior of employees, can help managers of government organizations in planning to identify and screen contaminated behaviors and achieve organizational health, and in the face of such deadly behaviors from employees, positive leadership and adopt a reasonable.
