Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the predictive relationship between organizational ethic, locus of control, self-esteem, and criminal behaviors among employees in tertiary institutions in Southwest, Nigeria. A sample of 416 employees from various institutions participated in the study. Data was collected using self-report questionnaires, while correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM), were used to analyze the relationships between the variables and predict criminal behavior. Specifically, employees with lower levels of organizational ethic, external locus of control, and low self-esteem were found to be more likely to engage in criminal activities. These findings highlight the importance of promoting ethical values, fostering internal locus of control, and enhancing self-esteem among employees to reduce likelihood of criminalities behaviors in tertiary institutions in Southwest, Nigeria. Recommendations for organizational interventions and future research are discussed.
