unconducive
Working against success
Unconducive means not favorable or helpful to a particular outcome: The noisy environment was unconducive to concentration.
The word is the negation of conducive, typically followed by "to" and whatever is being hindered: conditions unconducive to growth, an atmosphere unconducive to honest discussion.
