Purpose of the study: The research aimed to compile extensive literature on workplace deviance typology.
Methodology: The research comprises a systematic literature review. The review helps to understand the extensive work on workplace deviance (1983-2019). The articles were shortlisted based on PRISMA, preferred reporting items for systematic reviews, to provide a clear picture. Based on 75 shortlisted articles from financial times (FT) – 50. The shortlisted articles comprise four clusters, i.e., antecedents, consequences, mediators, and moderators.
Main Findings: The research found the need to explore future research based on a social constructivist lens.
Applications of this study: The research provides a way forward to extend research in workplace deviance. Research developed a framework to guide future research on the new relationships of workplace deviance. Hence, empirical work on these relationships can offer new insights into construct dimensionality, methodology, and philosophy.
Novelty/Originality of this study: After highlighting the key contributions of the previous researchers, the research attempted to articulate the ontology of workplace deviance by suggesting the need to investigate it through a different philosophical lens. Researchers then identified various gaps to be addressed in the future.
