Abstract: This research-based study investigated empirically the impact of agreeableness personality traits to workplace deviant behavior in employees working in different organizations. We collected data through cross-sectional method from 290 employees who can read and understand English. Previous studies conducted related to these constructs confirmed that questionnaires in English language are appropriate for data collection. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data because it fulfills the purpose related to this research. The study found that agreeable personality trait is negatively related to workplace deviance or employees with agreeableness personality trait remain focused on their job in organization. Or employees who are low in agreeableness trait are likely to exhibit deviant work behavior at work-setting. The study suggested that organizations should consider personality traits while hiring new employees. This practice will reduce workplace deviant behavior in the work setting of organizations.
