The paper discusses the influence of gender, age, education and type of position held upon employees’ tendency to undertake organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and counterproductive work behaviour (CWB). Particularly in Polish literature the relations have not been examined or discussed sufficiently. The author’s aim is to verify four hypotheses stating that the above-mentioned variables affect involvement of employees in OCB and CWB. Thus, the author used data obtained from an online questionnaire given to 535 respondents, who are active workers. The obtained results did not provide any grounds for rejection of the hypotheses.
