Abstract

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of personality on counterproductive work behaviors and to show how burnout mediates this effect. The study also aims to show the effects of personality dimensions (conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness to experience) on counterproductive work behaviors. In this context, the study sample consists of 270 individuals working in different sectors. The workers included in the study were interviewed with a personal questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS package program. The results showed that personality traits are an important predictor of counterproductive work behaviors and burnout plays a mediating role in this effect. In addition, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the personality dimensions of self-control, extraversion, compatibility, neuroticism and counterproductive work behavior and burnout. It was also found that there is a relationship between openness to experience and burnout. Finally, the study found that burnout mediates the effect of self-control, extraversion, compatibility, and neuroticism on counterproductive work behavior.
