As a result of the literature review about destructive behaviors in organizations, careerism studies were rarely seen. The aim of this study is to reveal the reasons and results of factors affecting the extreme careerism as destructive behavior in organizations by using qualitative research method. In this study, semi-structured interview questions were prepared to the people working in public institutions and face-to-face interview method was applied. The sample consisted of 18 people who participated in the interview voluntarily. The results of the study showed that there are so-called employees- who act as destructive behavior. The results of the research are remarkable as so-called employees, learned helplessness, religious and moral values, postponing private life. Finally, in Turkish society, employees in public institutions refrain from exhibiting destructive behavior in organizations to achieve careers.
