The study focuses on investigating individual differences that make people to engage in CWBs. To better understand how CWBs and individual differences are related to one another, Locus of Control (LoC) was also investigated to ascertain its impacts on the already-existing link between individual differences and work-related behaviours. The study's independent variables include the Dark Triad—Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy—as well as Anomia and Negative Affectivity. As the moderating variable, Locus of Control, which is specifically concentrated on External (LoC-E) was used. Lastly, the dependent variable is CWBs, which compose of Types S, O, and D misbehaviours. A total of 588 respondents were included in the stratified quota sample technique, and their replies were gathered through online surveys. It was discovered that LoC-E moderates the relationships between Psychopathy also Anomia with type D CWB. The results of this study would assist other academics in conducting research in this area using more variables to better understand Counterproductive Work Behaviours (CWBs). It is recommended that more research should be conducted to examine the impact of other job elements such reward systems using larger samples. Moreover, a longitudinal study is also suggested to cater for the events that occur throughout the year such as job rotation, and performance appraisal
