dc.description.abstractThe study examined the relationship between personality, stress and counterproductive work behaviors among employees at Central Broadcasting Services 88.8FM and 89.2 FM in Mengo-Kampala. The research intended to achieve the following objectives; to examine the relationship between personality and stress, to examine the relationship between stress and counterproductive work behaviors, and to examine the relationship between personality and counterproductive work behaviors. A correlation study design was used to establish the relationship between personality, stress and counterproductive work behaviors among employees of Central Broadcasting Services. Data was collected from 60 respondents using self-administered questionnaires and later analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS, V23). The findings showed no significant relationship between personality and stress (p=.804<0.01 at r=. -033. The findings showed a negative significant relationship between stress and counterproductive work behaviors since (p=.026<0.01). The findings showed a weak significant relationship since (p=.029>0.01 at r=.283*). It was concluded that an employee’s personality can easily lower him/her into engaging into counterproductive work behaviors since he/she will find ways of spoiling the reputation and image of the organization. It is recommended that Central Broadcasting Services and other organizations in Uganda should enhance their stress management strategies so as to decrease the frequency with which employees engage in counterproductive work behaviors.en_US
