Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the effects of Hackman and Oldham job characteristics on pro-social rule breaking based on the mediating effects of self-efficacy of employees. This study is a descriptive survey. The sample consisted of 354 Municipal workers in Shiraz who were selected randomly by class selection method from ten regions of Shiraz municipality. Data collection included three questionnaires: Machiavellian Personality Scale (MPS) (Dahling et al.), Oldham and Hackman Job Motivation Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale (Bossche and Smit).
The results of the tests revealed that task significance, task identity, and job autonomy had a positive significant effect on pro-social rule breaking. The task significance path coefficient (0.25) had the greatest impact on pro-social rule breaking. Task identity (with a path coefficient of 0.24), and job autonomy (path coefficient: 0.14) had the greatest impact, respectively. Skill variety and feedback had no significant effect on employees' pro-social rule breaking. Finally, it can be concluded that job autonomy, task identity and task significance can result in pro-social rule breaking.
