Abstract

REHMAN, Usama  and  SHAHNAWAZ, M. G.. Machiavellianism, job autonomy, and counterproductive work behaviouramong Indian managers. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.83-88.  Epub June 14, 2021. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2018a10.

The present study explored the relationship between Machiavellianism and counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) through the lens of the social exchange theory. The present research further aimed at exploring the relationship between the two by introducing job autonomy as the mediator following trait activation theory. The Machiavellian personality scale was used to assess Machiavellianism, whereas a job autonomy scale was used to assess job autonomy, and counterproductive work behaviour was assessed with the help of the CWB questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS version 21 and Smart PLS version 2. Results showed that Machiavellianism is positively associated with counterproductive work behaviour and job autonomy did not act as a moderator in the relationship between the two.

Keywords : Machiavellianism; Counterproductive work behaviour; Job autonomy; Trait activation.
