Self-Control As A Moderator Of The Relationship Between Formal Control And Workplace Deviance: A Proposed Framework, Kabiru Maitama Kura

Dr. Kabiru Maitama Kura

Several studies in the field of management, organizational psychology, sociology and criminology have reported that workplace deviance is related to organization/work variables, such as organizational justice, job satisfaction, perceived organizational support, and job stress, among others. However, few studies have attempted to consider the influence of formal control on workplace deviance. Even if any, they have reported conflicting findings. Therefore, a moderating variable is suggested. This paper proposes a moderating role of self-control on the relationship between formal control and workplace deviance.
