Abstract
Despite deviant workplace behavior has increasingly become a serious
problem in today’s organizations and has been reported to significantly affect on
both individual and organizational effectiveness and performance, numerous
organizations have ignored and not yet prepared to cope with this problem seriously.
This present study aims at enhancing the body of knowledge in the area of
workplace deviance by exploring the differences between employees and employers
at a selected government bank in Thailand. A sample of 143 respondents was
gathered for data collection through a modified version of deviant workplace
behavior questionnaire. Results of independent samples t-test analysis indicated the
significant difference in employees and employers with respect to deviant workplace
behavior (t = -2.005, p = .047). These results suggested that employees were less
likely to demonstrate deviant workplace behavior than employers. Discussion,
limitations, and recommendations for further studies were also discussed.
