In the authors’ words
The article’s own abstract.
The present article details a meta-analysis on 35 empirical studies which included 9897participants within 39 independent samples. The research investigated individual andorganizational predictors for counterproductive work behavior (CWB). The variables consideredfor this study are organizational justice (interactional, procedural and distributive), job satisfaction,negative affectivity, Big Five personality factors – as predictors for counterproductive behavior.Furthermore, the relationships between the organizational and interpersonal dimensions of CWBwere analysed. Results indicate a negative association between justice dimensions andcounterproductive behaviors, and an average positive association between negative affectivityand counterproductive behaviors. Low levels of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness areassociated with counterproductive behaviors. Job dissatisfaction is also associated withcounterproductive behaviors. The analysis includes a discussion of the implications of theseresults for further research, and suggestions regarding the management of counterproductivebehaviors in organizations.
