TIME BANIDTRY: VALIDATION OF A MEASURE OF COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WORK BEHAVIOR

Abstract

A measure of time banditry, a type of counterproductive work behavior, was administered to undergraduate students to establish the validity of the measure. A confirmatory factor analysis failed to corroborate the previous exploratory factor analysis. Construct validity was established by using previously validated measures and by using the nomological network of the lawful relationships between time banditry and these related constructs. This measure could assist in the development of organizational interventions and serve to inform future research on the concept of time banditry.
