Individual Predictors of Workplace Deviance with Mediating Effect of Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The efficiency of organizations and performance of employees in the workplace in such a competitive global economy and businesses require some factors that enhance the performance and job satisfaction of employees in the workplace. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of job satisfaction in the relationship between individual-related factors and workplace deviance. Preventing or remedy deviance may require some individual change. The managers would therefore be well advised to remedy inequities in the system if they really exist or to clear misperceptions of inequities if this is actually the case.
