Workplace Deviance as a result of  Technology
Workplace deviance is defined as “voluntary behavior that violates significant  organizational norms and in so doing threatens the well-being of an organization, its members, or  both” ​(Bennett, Marasi, & Locklear, 2018). The most obvious way that technology can contribute  to workplace deviance is through simple slacking off. How many times have you walked in an  office and seen someone on their personal Facebook or Instagram account or texting on their  cell phone? These seemingly harmless activities can easily be defined as workplace deviance  because, by sacrificing their productivity, this employee is threatening the well-being of the  organization. While it’s unlikely that a single employee slacking off is going to take down an  institution, the impact is not what determines deviance.
A more meaningful example that can easily be used to hurt a company is the improper  use of company computers. Any employee with a thumb drive and a grudge can upload malware  to a company computer, and depending on how tight the cyber security is at that company, it  could very well infect the network as well as the individual computer. On the other end of the  spectrum, that same employee with the thumb drive could potentially download files from the  computer that are classified, maybe not to the employee, but to the public. Typically, in-house  correspondence has levels of classification, and only the lowest levels are information suitable for  release to the public. Other information could be future sales plans, employee evaluations, or  store/company sales figures. Any of these being released to people outside the company could  be potentially harmful to the company at large, and now that most office correspondence is  passed digitally, it’s infinitely easier to obtain on the down low and distribute it to entities it was  not meant for.
