Abstract
Employees (N = 121) participated in this study of aggressive work beha vior. Employees completed a performance-based test of self-control. Ag gressive work behavior data were then collected over a 4-year period. Self-control was related to client directed physically aggressive and nonclient-directed aggressive behavior. Findings of this study provide evidence on the usefulness of self-control in understanding aggressiv e work behavior.
