  • mild social Deviance type a behaviour pattern and decision making style as predictors of self reported driving style and traffic accident risk
    British Journal of Psychology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Robert West, James Elander, Davina French
    Abstract:

    A 10-item self-report scale for mild social Deviance (the Social Motivation Questionnaire) was developed and used in a study examining the role of social Deviance in traffic accident risk. The scale focused on self-serving behaviours which might directly or indirectly harm the interests of others. Data were obtained from 108 drivers taking part in a research programme examining a range of factors underlying traffic accident risk. Apart from social Deviance scores, measures were taken of Type-A behaviour pattern, decision-making style, self-reported driving style, age, sex, annual mileage, and accidents over a three-year period. The results indicated that the social Deviance scale yielded a good spread of values and had adequate intra-scale reliability. Social Deviance was positively correlated with accident rates independently of age, sex and annual mileage. The association between social Deviance and accident rates appeared to be partly mediated by faster driving speed. The results indicate that, even within the general population, social Deviance can show measurable variation and that this variation is predictive of traffic accident risk.

  • blame it on the supervisor or the subordinate reciprocal relations between abusive supervision and organizational Deviance
    Journal of Applied Psychology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Huiwen Lian, Lance D Ferris, Rachel Morrison, Douglas J Brown
    Abstract:

    Drawing on various theoretical perspectives, extant research has primarily treated subordinate organizational Deviance as a consequence of abusive supervision. Yet, social interaction theories of aggression and victimization perspectives provide support for the opposite ordering, suggesting that subordinate organizational Deviance may be an antecedent of abusive supervision. By using a cross-lagged panel design, we empirically test the potentially reciprocal relation between abusive supervision and subordinate organizational Deviance. In Study 1, we measured both abusive supervision and organizational Deviance at 2 separate times with a 20-month lag between measurement occasions and found evidence that subordinate organizational Deviance leads to abusive supervision, but not vice versa. In Study 2, with a shorter time lag (i.e., 6 months), the reciprocal effects of abusive supervision and organizational Deviance were supported. Furthermore, we found that the effects of abusive supervision on organizational Deviance were moderated by subordinate self-control capacity and intention to quit such that the effects were only significant when subordinates had low self-control capacity and high intention to quit. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

  • organizational supports and organizational Deviance the mediating role of organization based self esteem
    Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2009
    Co-Authors: Lance D Ferris, Douglas J Brown, Daniel Heller
    Abstract:

    Drawing upon belongingness theory, we tested organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) as a mediator of the relation between organizational supports and organizational Deviance. Data from 237 employees were collected at three points in time over one year. Using structural equation modeling, we found that OBSE fully mediated the relation between organizational supports and organizational Deviance. Controlling for preexisting predictors of Deviance, including personality traits (agreeableness, neuroticism and conscientiousness) and role stressors (role conflict, ambiguity, and overload), did not eliminate the relation between OBSE and organizational Deviance. The implications for the OBSE and Deviance literatures are discussed.

  • Routine Activity Theory and Sexual Deviance Among Male College Students
    Journal of Family Violence, 2006
    Co-Authors: Arrick Jackson, Katherine Gilliland, Louis Veneziano
    Abstract:

    Much research on sexual Deviance on university and college campuses is limited by its narrow focus on group affiliation. In this study, it is argued that prior Deviance and opportunity serve as more robust predictor variables of sexual Deviance. Using a sample of 304 male college students from four universities within the Ohio Valley Conference, this paper utilizes Analytic moment structures (AMOS) analyses to examine the relationship between prior Deviance and sexual Deviance. Results support the assumption that sexual aggression is significantly (β=.17) mediated or accounted for by opportunity. Overall, the relationships among variables lend support to the argument that alternative explanations of sexual Deviance may provide a better understanding of such a complex societal problem.

  • Sexual Deviance among Male College Students Prior Deviance as an Explanation
    Journal of interpersonal violence, 2004
    Co-Authors: Arrick L. Jackson, Louis Veneziano, Katherine Riggen
    Abstract:

    Much research on sexual Deviance on university and college campuses is limited by its narrow focus on group affiliation and leads to much speculation and conjecture. This article suggests that an alternative explanation is more suitable for explaining such an important and complex problem on college campuses. It argues that prior Deviance serves as a more robust predictor variable of sexual Deviance. Logistic regression analyses indicate a direct relationship between prior Deviance and sexual Deviance. The results lend support to the argument that group affiliation is not a suitable explanation for such a complex societal problem—sexual Deviance. Limitations of the study and directions for future research on sexual Deviance are discussed.

  • abusive supervision intentions to quit and employees workplace Deviance a power dependence analysis
    Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2009
    Co-Authors: Bennett J. Tepper, Jon C Carr, Denise M Breaux, Sharon Geider, Wei Hua
    Abstract:

    We conducted a two-study examination of relationships between abusive supervision and subordinates’ workplace Deviance. Consistent with predictions derived from power/dependence theory, the results of a cross-sectional study with employees from three organizations suggest that abusive supervision is more strongly associated with subordinates’ organization Deviance and supervisor-directed Deviance when subordinates’ intention to quit is higher. The results also support the prediction that when intention to quit is higher, abusive supervision is more strongly associated with supervisor-directed Deviance than with organization-directed Deviance. These results were replicated in a second study, a two-wave investigation of people employed in a variety of industries and occupations.

  • Abusive supervision and subordinates' organization Deviance.
    The Journal of applied psychology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Bennett J. Tepper, Christine A. Henle, Lisa Schurer Lambert, Robert A. Giacalone, Michelle Duffy
    Abstract:

    The authors developed an integrated model of the relationships among abusive supervision, affective organizational commitment, norms toward organization Deviance, and organization Deviance and tested the framework in 2 studies: a 2-wave investigation of 243 supervised employees and a cross-sectional study of 247 employees organized into 68 work groups. Path analytic tests of mediated moderation provide support for the prediction that the mediated effect of abusive supervision on organization Deviance (through affective commitment) is stronger when employees perceive that their coworkers are more approving of organization Deviance (Study 1) and when coworkers perform more acts of organization Deviance (Study 2).
