ABSTRACT

The phenomenon of illegitimate and potentially damaging work behaviours by employees is prominent in the Indonesian workplace and can be categorised as Counterproductive Work Behaviour (CWB). Such employees potentially harm the organisation, members of the organisation, service users, and organisations as a whole. The Interpersonal and Organisational Deviance Scales of Bennett and Robinson (2000) provide a measurement tool that is widely used in the study of CWB. Unfortunately, the adaptation of this tool in an Indonesian language version does not currently have any construct validity. In this study, a construct validation, based on previous research, is conducted of this version, using the established relationship between CWB and personality (traits). The results of this study showed that the Interpersonal and Organisational Deviance Scales in an Indonesian language version are supported by convergent evidence from conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism traits.
