Abstract
Counterproductive work behavior is a common phenomenon in every organization. The objective
of the current study was to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits,
dimensions of organizational justice (perceived distributive, procedural, and interactional
justice), and five dimensions of counterproductive work behavior (sabotage, withdrawal,
production deviance, theft, and abuse). 115 participants from the Ethiopian Sugar Corporation
Addis Ababa Head Office took part in the study. The participants were selected using simple
random sampling technique. Data were collected using the Spector et al. (2006) counterproductive
measure, Niehoff and Moorman (1993) organizational justice measure, and Oliver P. John and
Sanjay Srivastava (1999) big five personality traits measures. The Pearson product moment
correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were employed as methods of data analysis. A weak
relationship was found between the big five personality traits, organizational justice, and CWB.
Conscientiousness and distributive justice strongly predicted the overall CWB. but, the prediction
of distributive justice was not statistically significant.
