The purpose of this study was to assess predictors of employee counterproductive work behavior (CWB) in six Major League Baseball (MLB) organizations. The effects of two individual variables (negative affectivity and positive affectivity),situational variables (distributive justice,procedural justice,and interactional justice),and the moderating effects of team identification on CWB were examined. Full-time employees (N＝301) completed questionnaires assessing team identification,individual variables,situational variables,counterproductive behaviors,and demographic questions. The results regarding the relationships with CWB were mixed. Team identification did not play a significant role as a moderator in the analysis. Negative affectivity was found to have a positive relationship with CWB； positive affectivity was found to have a negative relationship. Individuals high in positive affectivity were less engaged in CWB,whereas individuals low in positive affectivity engaged in more CWB. Counter to expectations,distributive justice was positively associated with CWB. Although the hypotheses regarding the effects of six variables on CWB were partially supported； the study of MLB employees warrants further investigations.
