Ackroyd, S., & Thompson, P. (2022). Organisational misbehaviour (2nd ed.). SAGE Publications.
This text is a second, revised edition of the main version published earlier. It aims to present an alternative to the imprecise and vague notions of organizational behavior and its problems in other sources. Ackroyd and Thompson elaborate on the concepts of sabotage, absenteeism, theft, and vandalism that can be manifested as misbehavior. The book examines in detail the possible causes of these behaviors, and the management means to combat them.
Bratton, J. (2020). Work and organizational behaviour. Bloomsbury Publishing.
Bratton examines and defines the concept of misbehavior in an organization from a variety of angles. He pays particular attention to the modern factors of misbehavior: gender and ethnic inequalities in the team, the influence of technology, and the psychological self-determination of the individual. Frameworks for management and human resources to help remedy the situation are provided.
Buchanan, D. A., & Huczynski, A. A. (2019). Organizational behaviour. Pearson UK.
Buchanan and Huczynski’s work focuses on communicating the issues of organizational misbehavior to graduate students with no background in the social sciences. He describes the theories, concepts, and techniques that are applied in practice to stabilize behavior in the work environment. Through this research, authors prepare graduates to grapple with potential problems in the future workplace through a nudge to develop critical thinking.
Lim, V. K. G. (2002). The IT way of loafing on the job: cyberloafing, neutralizing and organizational justice. Journal of Organizational Behavior.
This article examines the manifestations of misbehavior in the digital work environment using the example of the IT industry. The most relevant disruptions and methods for dealing with them to restore team effectiveness and productivity are described. Lim developed her model in which employees’ negative perceptions of their company correlate with their ability to justify their own misbehavior. The study’s focus group involves about two hundred adults with jobs connected to information technology.
Rafeld, H. (2018). Organizational culture and patterns of group dynamics: Implications for collective unethical behaviour. SSRN Electronic Journal.
Rafeld analyzes employee behavioral disorders in the banking industry, focusing on specific characteristics such as rogue trading and forex scandal. He also divides the causes of this behavior into three categories – structural, group, and individual. Based on the study, methods for combating and preventing misbehavior in the banking industry are presented.
Thomas, R., Anitha, S., & Joseph, I. N. (2019). Employee misbehaviour in the workplace- strategies to prevent misbehaviour and make employees satisfied with the job. International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews.
Thomas explores the problem in terms of the potential negative impact of the team on the employee. Great emphasis is placed on the idea that types of misbehavior such as sexual harassment, bullying, cheating, and inhumane treatment of co-workers are the most dangerous for the team. In addition, it is suggested that the causes of such problems be addressed by increasing employee motivation and job satisfaction.
Thompson, P., McDonald, P., & O’Connor, P. (2020). Employee dissent on social media and organizational discipline. Human Relations.
In their article, Thompson, McDonald, and O’Connor focus on processing a dataset of employee surveys and identifying the leading cause of the behavioral disruption. According to their version, a substantial percentage of employee dissatisfaction is caused by organizational discipline in the form of limiting access to social media. It likewise raises the issue of dissatisfaction with the punishments a company can impose based on unwanted digital comments by their employees.
Vardi, Y., & Weitz, E. (2002). Using the theory of reasoned action to predict organizational misbehavior. Psychological Reports.
Vardi and Weitz’s work focuses on the organizational misbehavior model and Eisen and Fishbein’s theory of justified action. The results of the paper’s research support this theory and its ability to predict negative workplace behavior. Methodological ways of examining the intentions of bad behavior in organizations to find the best solution to the situation on a case-by-case basis are discussed.
