Workplace deviance refers to deliberate, malicious attempts to sabotage an organization by causing problems in the workplace. Studies have shown that organizational factors such as job stressors, organizational frustration, lack of control over the work environment, weak sanctions for rule violations, and organizational changes such as downsizing are causes of workplace deviance. Many times, workplace deviance can occur when an employee becomes disgruntled and annoyed at something that happened recently. The IT department does not remove or temporarily disable their login credentials and therefore, they still have complete access to the system. This employee can now cause the company harm from within in many different ways. Another way workplace deviance can occur is through the accessibility or sensitive information to employees at a lower level in the company. For example, a regular employee does not need access to the rest of the employees’ health records or payroll. Many times, this occurs because IT does not put a restriction to the information that can be accessed by these lower-level employees. This can be dangerous when employees start to snoop around in folders and information they are not supposed to have access to. Another reason why workplace deviance can occur is by malicious use of information by employees. For example, in some cases, employees have been found selling information to people outside of the company for money, all the while still working at the company. Employees who have access to company finances can steal cash, or use “creative accounting” as a means to embezzle money. There are ways for companies to discourage this type of behavior though. One of these ways is to (as stated above) restrict access to certain documents that employees do not need to see. Another way is to restrict the materials (like personal phones and laptops) that employees are allowed to bring and use in the workplace.
