Abstract

To study earlier researches done on deviant workplace behaviour and identify the antecedents and consequences of deviant workplace behaviour and finally draw propositions based on the literature review which can be empirically validated.

This literature review has covered 150 research articles. The study mainly covered research works on antecedents and consequences of deviant workplace behaviour. Keywords which have been used to search the relevant articles are deviant behaviour, employees, deviant workplace behaviour. The relevant papers were considered in the study and others were excluded from the study.

This research has been conducted based on literature review. The concept of deviant workplace behaviour is quite old but awareness among the employees and the organisation is still not prominent. Concept of deviant behaviour is still theoretical but practical implementation of theories to increase positive deviant workplace behaviour and decrease negative deviant workplace behaviour is absent in the organisation. Since this research paper is based on qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis need to be conducted to validate the concept.
