ABSTRACT = {In extant literature, considerable research has focused on the 
provoking effect of unfavorable work situations on counterproductive work 
behaviors (CWB) (i.e., abusive supervision→trigger CWB). Adopting the 
perspective of positive organizational scholarship and drawing on affective event 
theory (AET), this study examined the inhibitory effect of perceptions of 
favorable work situation on counterproductive work behaviors (i.e., uplifts 
affective events→affective well-being→inhibit CWB). Hierarchical linear 
modeling was used to test the hypotheses in a sample of 65 middle school 
teachers in China who completed daily diary method surveys over 15 
consecutive working days, and got within-individual observations (level 1, N = 
975) were nested at the between-individual observations (level 2, N = 65). 
Results suggested that, (1) Opportunities for professional development were
negatively related to CWB, (2) Affective well-being was negatively related to 
CWB, and (3) Affective well-being partially mediated the relationship between 
opportunities for professional development and CWB. Further, (4) Taskcontingent conscientiousness negatively moderated the negative relationship
between affective well-being and CWB. In the end, we discuss the implications 
of the findings for both theory and practice.},
