| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 企業管理系 === 94 === Among past empirical research on employee discretionary behaviors, most has focused on positive work behaviors (e.g., organizational citizenship behavior), less attention has been paid to negative work behaviors (e.g., employee deviant behavior). The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among negative affect, neuroticism and employee deviant behavior.
This study surveyed 313 employees in electronics industry, information industry, finance industry, government agencies and other industries. The research findings are as follows: 1. Negative affect and employee deviant behavior (interpersonal deviance and organizational deviance) was positively related. When negative affect was high, employees were more likely to display deviant behavior. 2. Neuroticism and employee deviant behavior (interpersonal deviance and organizational deviance) was also positively related. When neroticism was high, employees were more likely to display deviant behavior. 3. Neuroticism accounts for significant proportions of the variance in employee deviant behavior above and beyond that accounted for negative affect. 4. The moderating effect of negative mood regulation was not significant. This study has practical implication for managers to understand the relationship between employees and employee deciance.
