TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Exploring the role of individual differences in the prediction of workplace aggression JO - Journal of applied psychology A1 - Douglas, S. C. A1 - Martinko, M. J. SP - 547 EP - 559 VL - 86 IS - 4 N2 - This study investigates the relationship between individual differences and the incidence of workplace aggression in a sample of employees from a transportation company and a public school system. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that measures of trait anger, attribution style, negative affectivity, attitudes toward revenge, self-control, and previous exposure to aggressive cultures accounted for 62% of the variance in the participants' self-reported incidence of workplace aggression. Further research on workplace aggression is advocated, focusing on the role of individual differences and their interactions with organizational and group-level variables.
