In this study, job insecurity and entrepreneurial intention were explored to determine their relationships with counterproductive work behavior. A total of 257 bankers from 23 banks in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria served as respondents in the study. The participants were selected using stratified sampling method. Out of the 257 participants 142 (55.3%) were males while 115 (44.7%) were females. The ages of the participants ranged from 20 to 50 years with a mean age of 29.41 years and standard deviation of 7.08. Counterproductive work behaviour was measured using a 10-item scale. Job insecurity was measured with a 7-item scale. 4-item scale was used to measure entrepreneurial intentions. Pearson product moment correlation was adopted as a statistical tool for data analysis. The result showed that job insecurity had significant positive relationship with counterproductive work behavior, r (257)= .66, P
