Abstract
A victim precipitation framework was used to explore whether aggressiveness, organizational citizenship behaviors, and race predicted how often employees reported themselves to have been targets of injurious acts by other organizational members. Data from 453 employees of a U.S. manufacturing firm suggested that employees with higher levels of dispositional aggressiveness, and those who exhibited lower levels of organizational citizenship reported higher levels of victimization. A three-way interaction involving employee race, dispositional aggressiveness, and OCB was also found. When aggressive white employees exhibited OCB, it served to reduce the amount of victimization experienced whereas OCBs exhibited by aggressive African Americans had no effect on the levels of perceived victimization.
