Can Childhood Behavior Predict Workplace Crime?
The average company loses 5% of its annual revenue to employee theft, so employers are seeking better tools to make better hires. One possibility may draw from longitudinal research in child psychology.
In an effort to better predict which employees might have dishonest relationships with their employers, University of Texas criminology professor Nicole Leeper Piquero worked with data from the Dunedin Longitudinal Study to look at the relationship between behavioral patterns in childhood and workplace crime in adulthood. The study examined two types of employment-related fraud—property deviance (e.g., taking money or falsifying receipts) and production deviance (e.g., intentionally working slowly or leaving work early). Piquero and colleagues surveyed 32-year-olds about their childhoods and their current workplace actions.
While childhood factors do not appear to correlate to work crime in women, chronically misbehaved boys were found to have a greater chance of developing deviant workplace behaviors in adulthood. Childhood stealing and bullying had a stronger correlation with later workplace crime than factors such as hyperactivity and impulsive aggression.
