Abstract
Workplace deviance occurs in organizations everywhere and has been found to produce detrimental effects to companies such as serious financial loss and higher rates of employee turnover. There has been substantial research conducted investigating different factors that add to the likelihood of employees engaging in deviant behavior. Some of these factors include situational and personality influences, emotions, perceptions, and motivation. By gaining more knowledge of the antecedents of workplace deviance, managers can gain a better understanding of how to both manage and prevent these behaviors. It is important for organizations to find ways to meet the needs of their employees while also motivating them to work hard and in a productive manner. Research has suggested that the behaviors of employees have a large impact on the success of an organization and thus should be prudently evaluated and managed.
