Effect of psychopathic personality dimensions on counterproductive work behavior: a comparison model
The present study examined gender differences in the effects of psychopathic personality (i.e., attachment, behavioral, cognitive, dominance, emotional, and self) on counterproductive work behavior (CWB) (i.e., abuse, production deviance, sabotage, theft, and withdrawal) by analyzing their dim...

| Summary: | The present study examined gender differences in the effects of psychopathic personality (i.e.,
attachment, behavioral, cognitive, dominance, emotional, and self) on counterproductive work
behavior (CWB) (i.e., abuse, production deviance, sabotage, theft, and withdrawal) by
analyzing their dimensions and components separately to gain a deeper understanding of the
complexity of this relationship. Data were collected from 234 Malaysian employees using
purposive sampling. Participants completed the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic
Personality Rating Form and Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist. Data were analyzed
using SPSS version 27 and a model was tested using Structural Equation Modelling through
AMOS version 27. Gender differences were found in the effects of psychopathic personality
dimensions – Attachment and Behavioral, on all counterproductive work behavior components
and the effects of Cognitive, Dominance, Emotional, and Self dimensions on some
counterproductive work behavior components. These findings suggest that the effect of
psychopathic personality on counterproductive work behavior may yield different results for
different psychopathic personality dimensions and counterproductive work behavior
components in different genders and cultural contexts. The discussion includes considering
psychopathic personality as a selection criterion during the employee selection process to
minimize the occurrence of future counterproductive work behavior. |
