Abstract :
Workplace aggressive behavior is one of the negative behaviors. In recent years, more and more western scholars and managers have showed great interest in it. It is showed that there are many aggressive behaviors in Chinese workplace too. However, the research of workplace aggressive behavior is rare in China. This study aims at reversing the scale of workplace aggressive behavior and tests its validity. Through translation & back-translation, and Data analysis of EFA & CFA, the 7-iterm single dimension scale was settled. In addition, the result from regression analysis showed that workplace aggressive behavior can explain 9.3% variance of work satisfaction; on the other hand, workplace aggressive behavior can explain 9.1% variance of turnover intention. So, we can say that our scale has good predictive validity.
