Personality questioners and conditional reasoning in predicting counterproductive work behaviour

Cilj ovog rada bio je provjeriti povezanost testa uvjetovanog rezoniranja za agresiju (TUR-A) s nepoželjnim organizacijskim ponašanjem te ispitati njegovu korisnost u predviđanju takvog ponašanja uz pet faktorski model ličnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 196 zaposlenih ljudi koji su se razlikovali po dobi, stručnoj spremi te vrsti i trajanju zaposlenja. TUR-A je pokazao pozitivnu povezanost s nepoželjnim organizacijskim ponašanjem, a ne korelira s osobinama ličnosti. Regresijska analiza s nepoželjnim organizacijskim ponašanjem kao kriterijem pokazala je da TUR-A značajno pridonosi objašnjavanju takvog ponašanja uz osobine ličnosti.The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between the Conditional reasoning test for aggression (CRT-A) and counterproductive work behaviour and its usefulness in predicting such behaviour beyond the five factor personality model. Data was collected from 196 employed adults who differed in age, education, and type and duration of employment. CRT-A showed a positive correlation with counterproductive work behaviour, and showed no correlation to personality traits. Regression analysis with general counterproductive work behaviour as the criteria showed that CRT-A significantly improves the prediction of such behaviour
