, Introduction
Organizations are currently increasingly concerned with identifying and addressing adolescent
and young adult counterproductive work behavior (CWB) to develop and sustain a productive and
ethical workplace (Shao et al., 2022). Counterproductive work behaviors, such as theft and workplace
bullying, not only have adverse effects on the overall performance of the organization but also present
obstacles to the preservation of a healthy work environment.
This study focuses on the evaluation of CWB among two groups of retail store applicants and
research participants. The administration of a brief personality questionnaire that was created with the
express purpose of measuring the trait of agreeableness is a tool that is used in the investigation of the
relationship between personality factors and the likelihood of engaging in counterproductive work
behaviors.
The first aim of this research is to evaluate and compare the component structure of the
personality questionnaire between the two groups (retail store applicants and research participants),
focusing on the assessment of Agreeableness. By means of factor analysis, it is possible to look at the
underlying factor model in each group and find any differences or similarities in the structure of
Agreeableness between people looking for work and people taking part in research. The second goal is
to evaluate how retail shop applicants and study participants differ on the personality trait of
Agreeableness. The differences in Agreeableness ratings across these groups may provide light on
whether job-seekers may portray themselves differently on personality evaluations, because of a desire
to show up in a better way. Finally, the research intends to predict counterproductive work behavior by
employing regression analysis to model the relationship between individuals' Agreeableness scores and
self-reported incidents of theft from employers (CWB). The hypothesis is that Agreeableness may have
a role in predicting antisocial conduct in the workplace.
