Abstract

Various tools have been utilized to help detect counterproductive behaviors including the use of pencil
and papers methods and polygraph techniques. The purpose of this paper is to study, design and develop a
proof-of-concept polygraphic method for counterproductive behavior index profiling system for human resource
selection besides building and developing polygraphic repository of counterproductive behavior index profile.
10 major areas are covered namely alcohol use, computer abuse, credibility, customer service, fundamental
data, illegal drug use, sexual harassment, theft propensity, work attitude, and work history. Main advantages: 3
major areas of concerns, namely little or no concerns (Angel) for lower scorers of 0-33, normal concerns
(Human) for medium scorers of 34-55 and serious concerns (Devil) for higher scores of 56-100 are developed
with the ability of producing radar charts for each areas of concern. American Polygraph Association members
trained as Polygraph Examiners shall be the primary user of this system for pre employment purposes and
employment screening. It also facilitates human resources department for personnel selection. This research
focuses on the Axciton™ and Lafayette™ polygraph instruments that use the PolyScore algorithms and
development of Polygraphic Method for Counterproductive Behavior Index Profiling System –
POLYDETECTTM. Information System Research Design Framework and Multiple Perspective Framework are
being utilized for the purpose.
Keywords: Polygraph, Counterproductive Behavior Index Profiling, Repositories, Information System Design
Research Framework, Multiple Perspective Framework.
