Organization-discouraged or Encouraged Employee Deviate Behavior: a Study of The Typology and Personal Factors

However, Argyris and Schon (1996) argued that the rule espoused by organization might contradict the invisible norm, which is the organizational reality. Based on such a viewpoint, this research firstly tries to figure out the employee deviate behavior into two categories: the organizationencouraged (following norm) and the organization-discouraged (disobeying norm).

Then, combining with four sorts of the employee deviate behavior proposed by Robinson and Bennett (1995), we build a typology framework of eight different types of the employee deviate behavior. After establishing the typology framework, this research plans to list different deviances by open-ended questions from the local employees’point of view. These deviances will be integrated into a deviance pool with the employee deviate behaviors mentioned by Robinson and Bennett (1995).
