Abstract
75 white-collar workers with professional experience working in variou s German organizations filled out a questionnaire containing items on counterproductive behavior in organizations as well as three scales of the NEO-FFI. Two aspects of counterproductive behavior were discerned : ''theft in a broadest sense'' is negatively correlated with conscien tiousness, whereas ''uncooperativeness'' is negatively correlated with conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness. Contrary to expect ations, no positive relation between extraversion and ''theft in a bro ad sense'' was found.
