Abstract

This study investigated the impact of individual factors i.e. big five personality traits and dark triad personality contributing to deviant workplace behavior and the moderating role of transformational leadership. The results were analyzed from a questionnaire derived from a sample of 380 employees belonging to 20 Public organizations of the province of Punjab Pakistan. SPSS-21 and SmartPLS packages were employed to analyze the quantitative data. Partial least squares method of structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was adopted for the testing of hypotheses. Results revealed significant relationship and supported the hypothesis of the direct impact of individual factors i.e. big five personality traits and dark triad personality on deviant workplace behavior. However, transformational leadership partially moderates the relationship between dark triad personality and DWB. This research paper is a pioneer work in the context of public sector of Pakistan and is a continuation of the existing literature on supporting theories of transformational leadership i.e. Social Learning theory, Social Exchange theory and Breach of Psychological Contract theory. This research also provides new directions within this area, by encouraging new debate about the role of transformational leadership in order to control deviant workplace behavior in the public organizations.
