The following excerpt is from Rojas v. Cal. State Pers. Bd., G050395 (Cal. App. 2015):
Similarly, the evidence supports the charge of failure of good behavior.10 "Discipline pursuant to the quoted statute must be based on more than failure of good behavior; it must be of such a nature as to reflect upon [the employee's] job. That is, it must bear some rational relationship to his employment and must be of such character that it can easily result in the impairment or disruption of the public service." (Warren v. State Personnel Bd. (1979) 94 Cal.App.3d 95, 104.) The failure of good behavior need not, however, be known to the public at large. (Nightingale v. State Personnel Board (1972) 7 Cal.3d 507, 513-514.)
