This study investigates counterproductive work behavior (CWB) in Indonesian government offices, focusing on narcissism, work stress, and organizational justice. Conducted among employees of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) in Padang City, the research highlights the detrimental impact of explicit and implicit narcissism on CWB. Work stress, exacerbated by bureaucratic processes and dissatisfaction, emerges as a significant contributor to counterproductive actions. Organizational justice, encompassing distributive, procedural, and interactional fairness, proves effective in mitigating CWB. The study introduces gender as a moderating variable, examining its influence on the relationships between narcissism, work stress, organizational justice, and CWB. While gender does not amplify the effects of narcissism and work stress, it does moderate the impact of organizational justice on CWB. Findings underscore the need to address organizational weaknesses, provide leadership training, and acknowledge the role of gender in cultivating a just and productive work environment. Despite certain limitations, this research provides valuable insights into understanding and preventing counterproductive work behavior in government offices.
