description The main objective of the present study is to identify and analyze the factors that predict counterproductive behaviors in the military organization, specifically among military students. A quantitative research design, based on data collection through multiple measurement scales, was used to achieve this goal. The measurement scales used to analyze the organizational predictors of counterproductive behaviors were: the Organizational Constraints Measurement Scale (Spector & Jex, 1998), the Interpersonal Conflict at Work Measurement Scale (Spector & Jex, 1998). And perceptions of organizational justice were measured by the Distributive and Procedural Justice Measurement Scale, which was developed by Niehoff & Moorman (1993). The data analysis measured the correlation (using SPSS we calculated the coefficient of determination, denoted R2, which represents the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variables) between a number of predictors, namely interpersonal conflict, perceptions of procedural and distributive organizational justice, and organizational constraints and counterproductive behavior. The analysis was carried out comparatively on students from faculties belonging to “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy of Sibiu. In constructing the sample, we used a probabilistic stratified sampling, reaching a number of 137 students. The results show as that high levels of interpersonal conflict and organizational constraints are associated with variations in counterproductive behaviors, but low levels of distributive justice and procedural justice do not have a significant impact on these behaviors according to the data presented.
