The current study examined the validity of HEXACO personality traits (at the broad trait-level and narrow facet-level) and Self-Control as predictors of counterproductive academic behavior (CAB; at the overall level and specific dimensional level) among college students. We collected data from 483 undergraduate students in South Korea who completed self-report measures of HEXACO personality traits, Self-Control, CAB. Results showed that Conscientiousness (r = − .23) and Honesty-Humility (r = − .25) were significantly correlated with CAB and that Self-Control provided incremental validity over HEXACO personality traits in predicting CAB. The correlations of Conscientiousness and Self-Control with CAB were consistently negative at the facet-level. However, within each HEXACO trait, there was some variability in the strength (and sometimes, the direction) of the relationships between the facet traits and CAB dimensions. Additionally, hierarchical multiple regression analysis results showed that Self-Control provided incremental validity for predicting CAB beyond prediction provided by the HEXACO personality traits. The results provide further support for personality and Self-Control as meaningful predictors of counterproductive academic behavior in college.

当前的研究检验了 HEXACO 人格特质（在广义特质层面和狭义层面层面）和自我控制作为大学生反生产力学术行为（CAB；在整体层面和特定维度层面）的预测因子的有效性。我们收集了 483 名韩国本科生的数据，他们完成了 HEXACO 人格特质、自我控制、CAB 自我报告测量。结果表明，责任心 ( r  = − .23) 和诚实谦逊 ( r  = − .25) 与 CAB 显着相关，并且自我控制在预测 CAB 方面比 HEXACO 人格特质提供了增量有效性。责任心和自我控制与 CAB 在方面水平上始终呈负相关。然而，在每个 HEXACO 特征中，刻面特征和 CAB 维度之间的关系强度（有时是方向）存在一些变化。此外，分层多元回归分析结果表明，自我控制为预测 CAB 提供的增量有效性超出了 HEXACO 人格特质提供的预测。研究结果进一步支持人格和自我控制作为大学中适得其反的学术行为的有意义的预测因素。
