Abstract:
This research aimed to (1) examine the levels of person-team fit, psychological ownership, and counterproductive work behavior among personnel, (2) investigate the relationships between person-team fit and psychological ownership with counterproductive work behavior, and (3) predict counterproductive work behavior based on person-team fit and psychological ownership. The sample consisted of 420 personnel from autonomous universities in Bangkok. The sample size was determined using G*Power software, and proportionally stratified random sampling was employed. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Statistical analyses included percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviations, Pearsons correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that personnel in autonomous universities exhibited counterproductive work behavior at the lowest level (X̅ = 1.29, SD = 0.34), whereas person-team fit and psychological ownership were at the highest levels (X̅ = 4.35, SD = 0.62; X̅ = 4.36, SD = 0.60, respectively). Person-team fit and psychological ownership demonstrated a moderate, statistically significant negative relationship with counterproductive work behavior at the .01 level (r = -.410, -.403, respectively). Additionally, the multiple correlation coefficient (R) between person-team fit and psychological ownership was .452, jointly predicting counterproductive work behavior by 20.4% with statistical significance at the .01 level.
