        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The aim of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between personality traits and counterproductive academic&nbsp; behavior through perceived control. The participants were 294 university students selected by multistage random cluster sampling method from Shiraz University. The participants completed the Big Five Factor Scale (Goldberg, 1999), the Spheres of Control Scale (Paulhus, 1983), and the Counterproductive Student Behavior Scale (Rimkus, 2012).
