Workplace deviation refers to “behavior that violates organizational norms”. Within a workplace, on a generalized scale, there are: customers, workers, and leaders. In cyber technology, workplace misconduct is more likely to happen since it may take place online rather than in person, giving it an ‘anonymous’ factor and making it more difficult to catch. A common instance of workplace deviance is when a disgruntled employee decides to seek revenge on his/her employer. It is possible in cyber technology, if an employee lost his/her job but and didn’t agree with the termination, he/she might download important data and sell it to competitor businesses for profit. This is deviating from what the employer expects of its employee. An employer would expect once they cut ties with an employee that they’d act appropriately. However, that isn’t always the case. Another example being if a disgruntled employee turns off the company’s security systems and leaving the business vulnerable to attack. The institution would be severely damaged if their assets were lost, maybe to the point where they would no longer be able to recover. The people responsible with safeguarding these assets may abuse their authority in this situation to take actions that might harm the institution they are supposed to safeguard. As a result, there would be a chance that hackers may access the system and steal vital data from the business. Because it is far more difficult to track down the individual who is performing the deviant acts virtually than in person, for example, being seen on a surveillance camera. Because of this, cyber technology has created more opportunities for deviance. In general, cyber technology has increased the number of ways that workplace misconduct can happen, made it simpler to commit, and made it more challenging to be discovered. All organizations can experience workplace deviation, but cyber technology has made it much simpler to occur.
