Abstract: Background: Self-regulation skills are an important element for private businesses, this has been proven more and more by numerous empirical studies.
Aim: The aim of this research is to identify the importance of self-regulation skills, more specifically the role of these skills in employee performance and counterproductive behaviors at work.
Methodology: The research was conducted with 100 employees in private businesses in Prizren. To find the results, the self-report questionnaire “The Self-Regulation Questionnaire” (SRQ) was used, which measured self-regulation skills, and the questionnaire “Individual Work Performance Questionnaire” (IWPQ) was used, which measured work performance and counterproductive behaviors at work. Data analysis was done through Pearson correlation and simple linear regression.
Results: The results of this research support the hypotheses that self-regulatory skills are related to work performance, more specifically to general, contextual performance, while no significant result was found regarding the relationship between self-regulatory skills and adaptive performance. The hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between self-regulatory skills and counterproductive behaviors is supported, but with a low positive relationship. The data from this study will serve organizational psychologists in our country for the benefit of organizations and employees.
Keywords: self-regulatory skills, performance, counterproductive behaviors, businesses.
