Abstract

The study aimed to analyze empirically the relationships among job strain, employee greed, and workplace deviance. The data is collected from 645 bank employees and analyzed by using structural equation modeling. The analysis reveals a significant impact of job strain on greed and workplace deviance. Moreover, in the relationship between job strain and workplace deviance, employee greed is a significant mediator. The study bridges the gap in the literature of greed theory by incorporating the mechanism of employee greed in job strain and workplace deviance. In the practical milieu, the study explains greed phenomenon in a novel cultural context, suggesting human resource managers to better understand employee psychology.
