Abstract
ABSTRACT Workplace deviance is a major cause of concern for organizations. It leads to an unpleasant work environment and results in decreased productivity, as well as financial and reputational losses for the organization. This paper synthesizes the vast amount of literature in the field of workplace deviance by qualitatively reviewing 245 papers published from 2003 till October 2020, highlighting the theoretical frameworks and set of antecedents of negative workplace deviant behavior. It further lays out future research directions concordant with the changing nature and scope of acts of deviance in the workplace that are rapidly transforming due to technology advancement, infusion and globalization. We discuss the changing socio-technological factors and their implications for perpetrator-victim dynamics and urge future researchers to study workplace deviance within this context.
期刊介绍:
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
