Employees ( N = 121) participated in this study of aggressive work behavior. Employees completed a performance‐based test of self‐control. Aggressive work behavior data were then collected over a 4‐year period. Self‐control was related to client directed physically aggressive and nonclient‐directed aggressive behavior. Findings of this study provide evidence on the usefulness of self‐control in understanding aggressive work behavior.
