An anonymous questionnaire survey was, with 1662 participants representing a wide variety of jobs across heterogeneous organizations in Thailand. Statistical analysis indicated that CWB can predicted by the following personality characteristics; conscientiousness, agreeableness, self-esteem, extraversion, neuroticism and openness to experience. analysis discovered that the association between personality characteristics and CWB is moderated by three factors; distributive justice, interactional justice and. Structural Equation Modelling was adopted in order to examine the efficacy of the identified moderators, and revealed that interactional justice has the strongest effect, followed by distributive justice and finally OCB. Implications of the findings to organizational management and personnel practitioners are discussed, including; that the occurrence of CWB could be reduced through the implementation of organizational justice enhancement policies; and that the prevalence OCB atmosphere at work could also help alleviate the impact of personality characteristics on CWB.
