Extant empirical research has reported conflicting findings with respect to the effects of punishment certainty and punishment severity on organizational deviance, suggesting the need to introduce a moderator.The present study tested whether self regulatory efficacy matters on the relationships among punishment certainty, punishment severity, and organizational deviance.\udDrawing on deterrence and self-efficacy theories, this study examined the effects of punishment certainty, punishment severity, and self-regulatory efficacy on organizational deviance among 197 employed postgraduate students who enrolled in the Master of Business Administration program at two large universities located in the north-west geopolitical zone of Nigeria.We used self-administered questionnaires to collect data. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), we found a significant negative relationship between punishment certainty and organizational deviance.Similarly, the results indicated that punishment severity had a significant negative relationship with organizational deviance.The study also found a significant negative relationship between self-regulatory efficacy and organizational deviance. As expected, selfregulatory efficacy was found to moderate the relationship between punishment certainty and organizational deviance.On the contrary, no significant interaction effect was found between self-regulatory efficacy and punishment severity.Implications of the study in the Nigerian context have been discussed
