Workplace deviance & Predictors of Workplace deviance: A Systematic Review of Literature

Abstract

This study examines recent conceptual advances in workplace deviance constructs through a systematic literature review (SLR). This study also focuses on particular types of deviant behavior at work which have been studied more frequently since last seven years and whether they include interpersonal or organizational forms of workplace deviance. The study also investigated mediating and moderating variables of workplace deviance. An SLR included Scopus and Web of Science database articles published between 2015 and 2022. This evidence suggests that interpersonal forms of deviant work behavior, rather than organizational forms, have received more attention in recent studies. In terms of antecedents, the findings indicate that personality factors remain prevalent. The study has both theoretical and practical limitations.
