Abstract

Little systematic research on the antecedents of counterproductive work behaviors(CWBs) has been focusing on both individual differences and environmental variables simultaneously. This survey study explored the effects of big five personality dimensions on CWBs. We also testified the moderating effects of Perceived Organizational Support (POS). Using data of 447 participants, hierarchical regression analyses revealed that conscientiousness had significant predictive power on both property CWB and production CWB. Among the five personality factors, conscientiousness and neuroticism had significant predictive power on general CWB. Emotional social support were found to moderate the relationship between conscientiousness and production CWB, and also between neuroticism and general CWB. General POS were found to moderate the relationship between neuroticism and interpersonal CWB. The implications of these findings are discussed.
