Counterproductive Work Behaviours
Every factor researchers have brought together to explain counterproductive work behaviours, combined from 6 study models into one ranked driver set — the model the priority engine reasons over.
13 drivers · 6 contributing models · Handbook entry →
§1The drivers, by consensus
Ranked by how many independent models include each driver (consensus), then pooled effect. “In N of 6” is a robustness signal — a driver in many models is one many researchers agreed matters; a driver in one is a single lead worth following.
| Driver | Consensus | Pooled r | Grade | Heterogeneity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conscientiousness | 3 / 6 | −0.36 | A | — |
| Agreeableness | 3 / 6 | −0.29 | A | I²≈0.96 |
| Organizational Justice | 2 / 6 | −0.27 | A | — |
| Ethical Leadership | 1 / 6 | −0.40 | A | I²≈0.94 |
| Job Satisfaction | 1 / 6 | −0.36 | B | — |
| Organizational Citizenship Behavior OCB | 1 / 6 | −0.32 | A | — |
| Helping Behavior | 1 / 6 | −0.32 | B | — |
| Interactional Justice | 1 / 6 | −0.30 | A | — |
| Emotional Stability | 1 / 6 | −0.27 | B | — |
| Authentic Leadership | 1 / 6 | −0.25 | B | — |
| Neuroticism | 1 / 6 | +0.19 | A | — |
| Openness | 1 / 6 | −0.08 | A | — |
| Extraversion | 1 / 6 | −0.05 | A | — |
“Pooled r” is the meta-analytic prior where one exists; drivers marked study-reported have a model but not yet a pooled prior — a concrete acquisition target. This is the value-of-information view in miniature: the priority engine can rank which driver to measure first by consensus, strength, and how much is still unknown.
§2The models it’s built from
Each contributing study model — the researcher’s theory of this outcome — with its size and grade, so the meta-model is auditable back to its sources.
