When speaking about workplace deviance in the present cyber world, the term can stem from many different aspects. However, primarily it stems from entertainment outside of the workplace and in a comfortable workspace. This is a significant issue because employees typically use company devices for outside entertainment like watching videos or playing games. This issue seems to happen the most with employees who work in remote jobs and can easily cause cyber attacks like viruses and malware. These attacks first will exploit network systems, and eventually create an increase in opportunities for sabotage or misconduct. Some other risks that may occur would be unauthorized data access, property theft, and implementation of software. Overall, remote work can have some pros, but on the other hand also some cones because of the risk of workplace deviance potentially leaking information, or exploiting company devices.
