Workplace deviance is described as purposely doing something or attempting to do something to cause damage to an organization that causes commotion in the workplace in either an ethical way or financial way. An example of workplace deviance is stealing, leaving work early, taking an unnecessarily long breaks, and sabotaging. It is easy for workplace deviance to occur in cyber technology field because the deviance happens through the web system which is hard to track compared to in person or face to face. In person, there are cameras or people around to see or inspects what really happened just in case there’s an incidence. A way that cyber technology contributes to workplace deviance is when a fired worker or a worker leaks sensitive information which can be harmful to an organization into their system. Another way in which cyber technology helps with this is when an angry or a fired employer try to punish an organization in which he works at exposing the workplace to cyber threats or high risks of attacks by shutting down the company’s system. This will harm the company in a very severe way because shutting the system down will give hackers access to the system to steal sensitive informations. Cyber security has created a better opportunity because the technology cannot point out the employer who caused the harm. In terms of this, cyber security has made it easier to perform workplace deviance.
