Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Counterproductive work behaviour is a behaviour that jeopardizes the objectives and interest of the organization. It is always under the scanner of ethical leadership and certain organizational moral doctrines. In the light of the foregoing, this study investigates the mediating effect of ethical leadership on the relationship between personality factors, group norms and counterproductive work behaviour among employees in Nigerian universities. Methodologically, 80 academic and non-academic staffs were selected to participate in pilot study. Adapted instrument: Counterproductive Work Behaviour Questionnaire (CWBQ), Personality Inventory Questionnaire (PIQ), Group Norm Questionnaire (GNQ) and Ethical Leadership Questionnaire (ELQ) were adapted from previous studies. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Partial Least Square (PLSSEM) software were used to assess the psychometric properties of the adapted instrument with a view to determining their suitability for the main study. Results indicate that the individual items of all the constructs loaded between .710-980 (exceeding the benchmark of 0.4). Average Variance Explained (AVE) of the constructs loaded between .611-.72 (exceeding the minimum of 0.5), while composite reliability of the constructs loaded between .81-.95 (acceptable for good composite reliability). In addition, the study achieved good discriminant validity for all the constructs because the square root of the AVE was more than the correlations among latent constructs, indicating adequate discriminant validity. This study concludes that since instrument used were properly assessed and found to be good for pilot study, then it is suggested that they can be used to conduct the main study.
