The Relationship

While counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) are considered to be associated with both personal and situational antecedents, the relationship between these two factors is not entirely understood. Toward a better understanding of this issue, the present study examined the moderating effects of personality traits on the relationship between a specific situational stressor, abusive supervision, and organization-targeted counterproductive behaviors (CWB-O). The results found significant main effects for both abusive supervision and personality, as expected, as well as a significant interaction between them, whereby employees with low scores in conscientiousness, agreeableness, and/or emotional stability were more likely to engage in CWB-O in response to abusive behaviors from their supervisors.

The Relationship

The current study is related to the empirical gap on the relation between personality traits and counterproductive behavior, which is especially important for literature concerning Central and Eastern post-transformation economies. Therefore, the main empirical goal of the article is to determine how the personality traits (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Openness to experience) influence the extent of organizational and interpersonal counterproductive work behaviors (CWB; CWB-O; CWB-I) and how this relation is moderated by the demographic and professional characteristics of employees (sex, age, seniority or type of work). The research objectives were met using a survey conducted in April 2020 among 454 professionally active people in Poland. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the empirical data. The proposed theoretical model was intended to determine how particular types of personality impact CWB. Based on the empirical results, we determined that personality traits strongly affect counterproductive work behaviors. The strongest predictors of organizational CWB proved to be Conscientiousness (negative relation) and Agreeableness (positive relation). There was no direct effect of personality traits on CWB-I. Moreover, the relationship between personality traits and CWB-O/I was significantly moderated by the demographic and professional characteristics of employees (sex, age, seniority, or type of work). The discussed result is reached based only on Polish employees' sample, which can be considered its important limitation. However, it still contributes significantly to international behavioral economics literature in the field. Due to many institutional characteristics and similar social context, the conclusions can be generalized and attributed at least for other Central European economies which are at the same level of development and which are characterized by many social and cultural similarities. From the practical perspective, the obtained results can be of special importance for human resource management in the reality of Industry 4.0 challenges.

The Relationship

Many researchers agree that virtue is an important psychological concept in contemporary psychology. The main purpose in this study was to investigate the relationship between virtues and the personality traits of college students in mainland China. Participants (N = 426) completed the Chinese Virtue Adjectives Rating Scale (CVARS; Mu, 2007) and the Chinese 16PF (Zhu & Dai, 1988). The results indicated that the 16 personality factors most closely related to the virtue factors were emotional stability, dominance, liveliness, rule-consciousness, social boldness, sensitivity, vigilance, abstractedness, apprehension, self-reliance, perfectionism, and tension. Second-order factors of the 16PF most strongly related to the virtue factors were anxiety, extraversion, tough-mindedness, and independence.

The Relationship

Production deviance is 1 of 5 dimensions of counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). Based on data collected from 362 employees of Chinese enterprises, I examined the predictive effect of Confucian values on production deviance and the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between Confucian values and production deviance using structural equation modeling. I analyzed 3 factors of production deviance: work sabotage, slackness, and withdrawal. Confucian values were found to have a significant negative impact on these factors. Furthermore, job satisfaction was found to partially mediate the relationship between Confucian values slackness and withdrawal, but not work sabotage.

The Relationship

This study aims to explore the mediating effect of anger and turnover intention on the relationship between workplace ostracism and counterproductive work behaviors. A two-stage follow-up survey of 426 employees born after 1990 was conducted using the Workplace Ostracism Scale, Counterproductive Work Behaviors Scale, Trait Anger subscale of the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory, and Turnover Intention Scale. Workplace ostracism was found to be significantly positively correlated with anger, turnover intention, and counterproductive work behaviors. Furthermore, anger and turnover intention both separately and serially mediated the relationship between workplace ostracism and counterproductive work behaviors. This study confirms the chain mediating effect of anger and turnover intention on the relationship between workplace ostracism and counterproductive work behaviors.

The Impact

This research aims to develop a theoretical framework to explain the conditions that facilitate or hinder the strategic roles of middle managers, such as the effects of CEO narcissism on the strategic roles of middle managers through the moderating effects of counterproductive work behaviors. This research examines these issues in the context of large Tunisian companies participating in Industrial Upgrading Program. The results show that CEO narcissism positively influences the counterproductive work behaviors of middle managers, which in turn negatively influences the strategic roles of middle managers. Consequently, this negative influence calls into question the SRMMs and clearly shows that the presence of the CEO narcissism constitutes an unfavorable condition for the involvement of middle managers in strategy process. Obviously, this should lead the defendants of the involvement of middle managers in strategy process to rethink this participatory approach, and this by considering the conditions that facilitate or hinder the strategic roles of middle managers.

The Relationship

As more local, state, and national governments change laws regarding the legality of cannabis use, it is essential for organizations to understand how the workplace may be influenced by these changes. The current study begins to answer this question by examining the relationship between three temporal-based cannabis measures and five forms of workplace performance. Using data from 281 employees and their direct supervisors, our results indicate that cannabis use before and during work negatively relate to task performance, organization-aimed citizenship behaviors, and two forms of counterproductive work behaviors. At the same time, after-work cannabis use was not related (positively or negatively) to any form of performance as rated by the user’s direct supervisor. We discuss methodological, theoretical, and practical implications for researchers, organizations, and governmental agencies concerned with cannabis use.
