Work Deviance Effects on Job Performance and Health
Abstract
The study of deviant behavior among employees has always been of central interest to employers. Two types of behavior of employees: those targeting the organization and those targeting other persons in the organization are discussed. These deviant or discretionary work behaviors are harmful to the organization by directly affecting its functioning or property, or by hurting employees in a way that will reduce their effectiveness and develop physiological or biological stress indirectly. This article is an effort to arrive at a unifying framework for understanding work place deviance that incorporates constraints, conflict, justice perceptions, control (autonomy), emotional responses, mental stress and affective dispositions as antecedents of distinct categories of behavioral responses.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
