Abstract

This is a conceptual paper about understanding the impact of the big five-factor model on deviant work behaviors among academic staff of universities in Nigeria located in the north-western zone. Deviant work behaviors are employee free-will behaviors that transgress organizational norms and do negatively affect goals and effectiveness of the organization, its members, or both. Generally, literature reveals lack of comprehensive empirical research regarding the relationship between personality factors (big five) and deviant behaviors in the academia. Thus, studies about how these behaviors interact with each other remain critical for all organizations, especially those in Nigeria where limited related research studies were observed. Specifically, literature available, especially the internet-based, reveals absence of empirical studies on Nigerian academic staff deviant work behaviors and the impact of the big five personality factors. This paper attempts to close this gap by proposing a model that would explain the role of the big five personality factors in influencing deviant work behaviors of faculty members in some selected universities in the Northwestern Nigeria.
