Career can be considered as an effort of individuals to reach the point they want to reach throughout their working life. As a result of these efforts, there are gains such as income, status and dignity. Individuals with problematic personality structure such as extreme ambitious, dishonest, makyavelist, narcissist can try different ways to get a career. Among the

defined as individual of behaviour, devoid of ethics, defying laws and procedures and pursuing careers outside of working performances. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a tendency towards destorganizations by using qualitative research method. The factors that affect individuals arecauses. A. Destructive Behaviors in Organizations

Extreme Careerism Human resources that make a difference for organizations also affect the success or the organization (1). Success of the organization is related to employee satisfaction. According to Herzberg, employees’ satisfaction factors are achievement, recognition, selfand development. When the employee satisfaction is not achieved within the framework of the stated factors, extreme dissatisfaction is likely. It is difficult for to accept employees' dissatisfaction because organizations have responsibilities to their employees. Organizations that fail to fulfill these responsibilities may face unwanted situations such as job quitting, whistle blowing, sabotaging the worganizational commitment and reduction of organizational trust. These types of behaviors that are unwanted in organizations are called destructive behavior. Destructive behavior in organizations, is defined as exhibiting any deliberate behaviorthe interests of the organization by employeeresult of a behavior, the occurrence of damage does not qualify as destructive behavior. Destructive behavior focuses on behavior, not on the harm caused by behavior.

According to (3), the behaviors of members of the organization, which violate organizational norms in a way that threatens the welfare of the organization or members of the organization, are defined as destructive behaviors. According to another definition; destructive behavior is the deliberate behavior of employees to prevent the operation of routine activities in the organization, which clearly harms the objectives of the organization (Depending on their position in the organization, employees determine of the target forexhibit destructive behaviors to indicate their dissatisfaction (6). According to Furnham and Taylor and Gruys (1999), there are various destructive behaviors in organizations. Destructive behaviors can be categorized as follows (1)(2): � Theft and related behaviors (theft

information, falsify records). � Abuse of time and resources (wast time, changing

� Unsafe behavior (non-compliance with safety procedures).

). Careerism, which causes

destructive behavior, is expressed as careerism, according to Bratton and Kacmar (Extreme careerism is; employees' efforts to gain power or prestige, according to their without work performance exhibiting positive or negative behaviors. According to social cognitive theory; individuals have a self-regulatory role on their behavior and thoughts, and can control themselves with this mechanism. However, when the self-regulatory role is disabled, individuals have the capacity to justify their negative behaviors (10). They may deviate from the goals of the organization for their careers and they can keep their goals above everything else. According to Feldman and Weitz (beliefs that form careerism can be listed:organizations is not easy, relations with management and colleagues need to be used in ordthe career, It seems to be successful without success.

In addition, they have been stated that such employees can establish good relations with their colleagues and show destructive behaviors in organizations.
