N = 169. All data were corrected for effects of sex and age before being entered into the regression analyses. RW = raw relative weight (within rounding error, raw weights sum up to R2); % = relative weight rescaled to as a percentage of predicted variance in the criterion attributed to each predictor (within rounding error, rescaled weights sum to 100); WRPS = Work Role Performance Scale (Griffin et al., 2007); WDS = Workplace Deviance Scale (Bennett and Robinson, 2000): Overall = overall deviant behavior at work; VIA-IS120 = Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (Littman-Ovadia, 2015); CFT 20-R = Revised Culture Fair Intelligence Test Scale 2 (Weiß, 2006); GMA = general mental ability; MRS-25 = Minimal Redundancy Scales (Ostendorf, 1990).
95% confidence interval did not include zero (p < 0.05).
