Workplace deviance is a term used to describe when an employee intentionally puts an organization and its workplace in harm’s way through their own malicious actions. Standard examples of workplace deviance include activities like verbal abuse, stealing, and damaging company property. These examples of workplace deviance have been taking place inside organizations for decades on top of decades. With the recent and rapid rise of the cybersecurity industry, there have been new forms of workplace deviance taking place inside organizations. The use of technology becoming so prevalent in day to day business practices has essentially created a brand new branch of workplace deviance. One example of this would be an employee stealing sensitive data from his employer. This could be done by hacking into company software to steal personal information like phone numbers, social security, and street addresses. The employee could then hold this information for leverage against his boss if he was ever going to be fired or laid off. An employee having this information could very well be detrimental to the health and safety of his employer and everyone else in the workplace. Another example of how an employee could use cyber security to commit workplace deviance is by deleting company data and information. This example could once again happen after an employee is fired or demoted by an authority figure. Many times this is done out of spite by the employee on the way out of the company. Company information and data being deleted from the database can wreak havoc causing progress and financial loss. Both of the workplace deviance examples listed above are a byproduct of the rise of the cyber security and technology industry. While the cybersecurity industry has been massively beneficial to companies and their workplace, workplace deviance opportunities like these have been created and continue to threaten company safety and success.
