Demographic Factors Influencing Workers Deviance Behaviour in Workplace

Workplace deviance behaviour has become a growing concern because of its unfavourable consequences on the workers and the organisation. This study examined the influence of sex and age on workplace deviance behaviour among ministry workers domicile in the Local Government Area. Cross-sectional survey design was used in this study and a total of 300 participants involving 130 male and 170 female, 185 younger, and 115 older civil servants with mean age and age standard deviation respectively being 36.65 and 9.83, were surveyed using convenient sampling technique. It was found that sex significantly influenced workplace deviance behaviour t df=298 = -1.223, P&0.05 . Specifically, female exhibited greater workplace deviant behaviour than their male counterparts. It was also found that age significantly influenced workplace deviance behaviour t df=298 = 2.88, P&0.05 .
