Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to test self-esteem, extraversion, risk-taking propensity,
proactive personality and generalized self-efficacy as predictors of constructive deviance behaviors
and to test the mediating role of psychological empowerment between the antecedents and
constructive deviance behaviors. Data was collected using questionnaire adopted from previous
studies to measure the relationships between the variables. Data was collected from 561
managerial and non-managerial employees of organizations related to informatics sector of
Pakistan. Results of the study showed that self-esteem, extraversion, risk-taking propensity,
generalized self-efficacy and proactive personality were significantly related to constructive
deviance behaviors. Psychological empowerment mediated between the relationships of selfesteem and extraversion with constructive deviance behaviors. Result shows that conditional
indirect effects of self-esteem and extraversion on constructive deviance behaviors through
psychological empowerment (mediator) were significant at the low, average and high values of
collectivist orientation (moderator). The study concluded that employee having collectivist
orientation will less likely be involved in deviance behaviors.
