Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to deviant workplace behavior in the public sector of Pakistan, which has become a significant issue for the government and the general public. Design/Methodology/Approach: Specifically, the study examined the impact of employees' demographics (age, gender, and job position), organizational justice on deviant workplace behavior. Additionally, the study sought to determine the severity and types of deviant workplace behavior prevalent in the Pakistani public sector. The sample was selected using convenient sampling method and consisted of 450 employees. A questionnaire comprising 44 questions was distributed among 560 employees, and 450 fully completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. Findings: The study uncovered the extent of deviant workplace behavior in the public sector of Pakistan. The demographics of employees were found to have a moderately positive influence on the relationship between organizational justice and deviant workplace behavior. Practical Implications: The multi-group analysis yielded significant findings regarding the influence of demographics on organizational justice and workplace deviance. Originality/Value: The study concludes that demographics, including gender, marital status, and age, significantly affect employees' perceptions and responses to organizational justice.
