  • routine activities in social context a closer look at the role of opportunity in Deviant Behavior
    Justice Quarterly, 2001
    Co-Authors: Jon Gunnar Bernburg, Thorolfur Thorlindsson
    Abstract:

    Present versions of the routine activity approach to Deviant Behavior do not account for the social context of situational motivation and opportunity. Using concepts from social bonding and differential association theories, we argue that the patterning of routine activities is guided in part by the same factors that cause Deviant Behavior, namely differential social relations. We extend the routine activity approach by arguing that the effect of routine activities on Deviant Behavior is contingent on people's differential social relations. Based on cross-sectional survey data from a nationally representative sample of Icelandic adolescents, our findings support these claims. First, there is a considerable decrease in the effect of our routine activities indicator (unstructured peer interaction in the absence of authority figures) on both violent Behavior and property offending when we control for differential social relations, namely bonding with conventional agents and associations with Deviant peers.

  • workplace spirituality as a mediator between ethical climate and workplace Deviant Behavior
    International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kavitha Haldorai, Woo Gon Kim, Howook Chang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study investigates workplace spirituality as a mediator between organizational justice/ethical climate and workplace Deviant Behavior/organizational citizenship Behavior. Data was collected from 641 Indian employees employed at economy to luxury hotels. Workplace spirituality mediated organizational justice-organizational citizenship Behavior link and ethical climate-workplace Deviant Behavior link. The implications can help hospitality professionals in creating an ethical work environment that embraces justice and spirituality for the well-being of employees, the organization, and the community at large. Hospitality managers can cultivate workplace spirituality by adopting a humanistic work environment. Hotel employers can give their employees the freedom to bring their physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual attributes to the workplace so that employees can realize the meaning and purpose of their work and their full potential as a person. The results can also aid hospitality professionals in formulating new policies by embracing spiritually sensitive services. The limitations and directions for future research are outlined.

  • development and validation of instruments of information security Deviant Behavior
    Decision Support Systems, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amanda M Y Chu, Patrick Y K Chau
    Abstract:

    Information security Deviant Behavior (ISDB) of employees is a serious threat to organizations. However, not much empirical research on ISDB has been carried out. This paper attempts to develop and validate instruments of ISDB using an empirical method. Two instruments of ISDB are proposed and tested, including a four-item instrument of resource misuse (ISDB that is related to the misuse of information systems resources) and a three-item instrument of security carelessness (ISDB that is related to the employees' omissive activities when using computers or handling data). A rigorous instrument development process which includes three surveys and addresses six crucial measurement properties (content analysis, factorial validity, reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and nomological validity) is adopted. The implications of these two instruments for future empirical studies on ISDB are discussed. We investigate an underdeveloped topic - information security Deviant Behavior.We develop and validate two instruments of ISDB using an empirical method.A four-stage rigorous instrument development process is adopted.
