Description: Workplace deviant behaviours have been identified as a key problem in today’s organization, being private or public. Therefore, understanding workplace deviant behaviours, either at interpersonal or organizational levels is more important than ever for survival of our organizations and the society at large.

This understanding is important in order to avoid a chaotic work environment, because these behaviours are pervasive and costly, financially, socially and psychologically to the individual and organizations, especially in developing economies like ours, Nigeria.
