Introduction. Problems of being systematically late, neglecting the orders of the organization and the authorities,red tape, forgery of documents, mobbing, etc. are common to varying degrees in public and commercial organizations.The researchers examine the phenomenon of ‘counterproductive behaviour’ comprising of the forms of behaviour that deviate from the norms and ethical principles recognised by the organisation. The assessment and forecasting of counterproductive dynamics in law enforcement teams serves the purpose of increasing the efficiency of professional activities, improving the image of law enforcement agencies, preventing corruption and other offences, and preventing destructive behaviour. Research Methods. Analysis of the psychosemantic experiment procedures proposed by V.F. Petrenko was used to develop the authors’ psychosemantic methodology to identify the risk of counterproductive behaviour of law enforcement officers. The methods of expert assessment, content analysis and testing (questionnaire “Individual Performance”, questionnaire “Dark Triad”) were also used. Mathematical and statistical processing of the study results was carried out by means of Microsoft Office Excel 2015 and statistical programme SPSSv.22. The validity of the obtained statistical data was assessed with the indicator of significance of differences. The results above the significance level (0.01 < p) and (0.001 < p) were interpreted. Results. The paper analyses theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of counterproductive behaviour. The authors justify the necessity of studying the distinctive forms of counterproductive behaviour in the context of professional activity, including law enforcement officers’duties. According to the expert sample of the original methodology, the list of actions (32 in total) fully characterises the particular forms of counterproductive behaviour typical for the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan and corresponds to the condition to represent equally the forms of violation of social and organisational norms of behaviour among law enforcers. The full list of counterproductive actions committed by law enforcement officers, as presented by the respondents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is divided into: 1) assessed neutrally; 2) assessed negatively but carried out regularly; 3) assessed as unacceptable. The psychosemantic basics of categorisation of counterproductive actions can serve as markers of the level of development of professional consciousness of a particular law enforcer and the level of development of organisational culture in a particular unit.
