This research has been done with the purpose of investigating the effect of personality factors
(conscientiousness, trait anger), job factors (skill variety, feedback) and organizational factors (distributive justice,
organizational constraints) on employees’ counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and the moderating role of job
burnout and work engagement. To do this research, some 185 individuals working in an Iranian Gas Transmission
Operational Area have been randomly selected and the questionnaire has been filled out by them. The research
model has been measured and performed by using structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses. The results of SEM
showed that employees’ CWB have been strictly based on their job burnout. On the other hand, employees’ job
burnout has been influenced by several elements such as skill variety, trait anger and organizational factors.
Moreover, the research has shown that the employees’ engagement has not been affecting their counterproductive
behavior; rather it is affected by their skills variety and conscientiousness. But, we found that there is no meaningful
relationship among trait anger, distributive justice and organizational constraints with the employees’ engagement.
