  ABSTRACT: This study examined bright-and dark-side personality correlates of a concept called work disenchantment which is a variable made up of five factors. The primary focus was on the relationship between disenchantment and counter-work behaviour (CWB). CWBs are vengeful acts by those who have become disenchanted possibly because of poor management. In this study 246 working adults completed a five-factor validated measure of work disengagement, three measures of counterwork behaviours (CWB), a Big Five bright-side personality measure, two dark side measures and finally, one of moral disengagement. The study looked at total score as well as facet correlates of work engagement and all the other measures. Our particular focus was on the issue of incremental validity of disengagement over and above personality in predicting various counterwork behaviours (CWBs). Disenchantment was not strongly related to demographic and bright-side factors but was related to dark-side personality and moral disengagement. Importantly, disenchantment accounted for incremental validity in every analysis. Implications and limitations are acknowledged.
