Despite the significance of pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in the workplace, most of the existing studies have neglected its negative work outcomes. Drawing upon moral licensing theory and cognitive dissonance theory, we construct a conceptual mode...

Background/Objectives: It is essential to explore and disseminate positive deviance strategies that promote resilience, mindfulness, and well-being beyond stress and burnout reduction strategies for residents and physicians who experience high levels...

Deviance is defined as actions that are opposed to generally accepted norms or violate acceptable behaviours within a society. Much of the deviant literature emphasises how the divergence from acceptable standards or behaviour is deviant. However, th...

Michel Foucault uses a sailing vessel as the exemplar of his theory of heterotopia because of its mobility. The lateral and vertical mobility of the steampunk airship indicates the potential for an even greater exemplar of heterotopia, particularly o...

Previous research on antecedents to constructive deviance remains scattered and inclusive. Our study conceptualizes constructive deviance from the perspective of ethical decision making and explores its antecedents, mechanism, and conditions. Drawing...

To remain competitive and viable in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations must strengthen their innovation capabilities. Innovative employee behavior often arises from disrupting established norms and deviating from convent...

The positive deviance approach assumes that a community’s problems have already been solved. ‘Positive deviants’ succeed despite sharing many of the same constraints as others. Positive deviance, which has its roots in international...

This study hypothesizes that employees’ positive perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities at the individual level have a negative effect on employee deviance—a negative job-related behavior—and that anomie plays a mediating rol...

Nonparametric combinations of permutation tests for pairwise comparison of scale parameters, based on deviances, are examined. Permutation tests for comparing two or more groups based on the ratio of deviances have been investigated, and a procedure...

University counselors in China are anticipated to demonstrate professional conduct as an integral aspect of their vocational responsibilities. Although the existing literature primarily emphasizes normative professional behaviors, there is a notable...

The current study takes its philosophical roots from organizational behavior and psychology domains to investigate the impact of sleep deprivation on the job performance of mothers working in primary, secondary, and higher education institutions (HEI...

This study investigates the extending negative effects of impression management (IM) on organizational outcomes in the nursing context. Specifically, this study aims to understand the impact of IM on workplace exclusion through workplace deviance. Th...

The ambivalent experience of superior–subordinate relationships is widespread in organisations and has gradually become an important factor influencing employees to actively engage in extra-role behaviours. However, employees’ constructiv...

Structural constraints arising from the family environment have been highlighted as a key predictor of deviant lifestyles that expose youths to criminogenic circumstances. Intervening processes are not well-understood. This study examined (a) whether...

How to regulate employee conduct and engage them in high performance works actively and continuously has always been the important topic for organizations. Based on affective events theory and social exchange theory, a moderated mediating model was c...

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a component of the difference waveform derived from passive auditory oddball stimulation. Since its inception in 1978, this has become one of the most popular event-related potential techniques, with over two-thousand pub...

The high malnutrition rate in children under five makes this problem one of the public health problems. Various efforts have been made to reduce malnutrition in children under five, one of which is the implementation of community programs with a posi...

Dual-method use is the most reliable form of protection against unintended pregnancies and human immunodeficiency virus/sexually transmitted infections (HIV/STIs). Although dual-method use remains uncommon among women in stable relationships, some wo...

Transgressive conduct and opposition towards the rules often characterize adolescence. During the development, antisocial and aggressive behavior could be a way to grow personally and to be independent. According to previous studies results, the fami...

In manufacturing and service industries, monitoring processes with correlated input variables and inverse Gaussian (IG)-distributed quality characteristics is challenging due to the limitations of maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)-based control char...

Risk factor approaches are often used when implementing programs aimed at enforcing advantageous health care behaviors. A less frequently-used strategy is to identify and capitalize on those who, despite risk factors, exhibit positive behaviors. The...

The first 1000 days (F1D), from conception to a child’s second birthday, constitute a critical window for shaping long-term health, development, and wellbeing. While conventional approaches often rely on external interventions to support young...

Discourses on breastfeeding extend beyond simple scientific evidence, framed within a dialogue between diverse sociocultural perspectives throughout history. Building on this premise, this article aims to explore, from the perspective of the sociolog...

With its suspenseful atmosphere, mysterious and murderous male protagonist, and magical objects, it is hardly surprising that Charles Perrault’s conte bleu ‘La Barbe bleue’ (1697) was the inspiration for numerous Gothic tales in the...

Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), including supportive peer relationships, are crucial for optimal adult health and socioeconomic outcomes. As part of a broader initiative to address trauma in youth, we conducted a quality improvement project us...

In statistical process control, the control charts are an effective tool to monitor the process. When the process is examined based on an exponential family distributed response variable along with a single explanatory variable, the generalized linea...

We introduced the mixed-methods Data-Powered Positive Deviance (DPPD) framework as a potential addition to the set of tools used to search for effective response strategies against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. For this purpose, we conducted a DPPD study...

The accelerated degradation testing (ADT) Bayesian evaluation method comprehensively utilizes product degradation data under accelerated stress levels collected over a short period of time and multiple sources of prior information, such as historical...

Despite extensive research on the role of negative affect (NA) in causing interpersonal deviance, the role of positive affect (PA) remains unclear. Responding to the call for more nuanced research on the interpersonal effects of PA, this study explor...

Dengue is a mosquito-borne, viral disease that has emerged as a global health concern in recent years. In the absence of specific antiviral treatment and vaccines, prevention remains the key strategy for dengue control. Therefore, innovative and comm...

Lack of sustainability in ethical behavior is one of the principal reasons for unsustainable outcomes. The present study observes how sustainability in ethical leadership affects employee outcomes like trust, effective commitments, and organizational...

The literature on antisocial bystander responses to vicarious mistreatment predominantly considers observer deviance as a retaliatory, emotion-based behavior and examines it through the lens of deontic justice. This perspective centers on the idea th...

Drawing upon the conservation of resource theory, we offer a framework for understanding the mechanism underlying the effect of public employees’ overqualification on their cognitive and behavioral outcomes, through both positive and negative p...

The exponential dispersion model (EDM) generated by the Landau distribution, denoted by EDM-EVF (exponential variance function), belongs to the Tweedie scale with power infinity. Its density function does not have an explicit form and, as of yet, has...

Deviance poses a fundamental challenge for groups: while it can threaten cohesion and invite moral condemnation, it can also express deep commitment to shared principles. The present research examines how loyalty shapes perceptions of constructive de...

There is widespread recognition that organizational culture matters in corporations involved in systemic crime and wrongdoing. However, we know far less about how to assess and alter toxic elements within a corporate culture. The present paper draws...

In today’s dynamic organizational environments, interpersonal conflict and social exclusion can significantly impact employee behavior and organizational effectiveness. This study explores the complex interplay between interpersonal conflict, w...

Introduction: In the literature, video game addiction in youths is correlated with dysfunctional symptoms of anxiety, emotional disorders, and mood disorders, and the pandemic period of 2020–2022 has favored the aggravation of this behavioral a...

Drawing from social exchange theory, we developed a dual-path model of employees’ reactions to episodic help received from colleagues. Through a diary study, using data collected from 127 full-time employees working in a large Chinese bank, we tested...

Proportional hazards models and, in some situations, accelerated failure time models, are not suitable for analyzing data when the failure ratio between two individuals is not constant. We present a Weibull accelerated failure time model with covaria...

Focusing on the United States, this paper examines the impact of military service for the cohort of individuals that have experienced the social factors that characterize emerging adulthood as a unique stage in the life course. We argue that military...

We developed a methodology for the neural network boosting of logistic regression aimed at learning an additional model structure from the data. In particular, we constructed two classes of neural network-based models: shallow–dense neural netw...

This study examines value similarities between deviant youth on the one hand and mainstream society on the other rather than value differences. The classic sociological research on deviance by Matza and Sykes supports this approach, given that their...

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) has long been understood mainly as a positive force associated with collective performance and organizational effectiveness. Recent management research has made this view less straightforward by drawing atten...

For the clinical assessment of motor speech disorders (MSDs) in French, the MonPaGe-2.0.s protocol has been shown to be sensitive enough to diagnose mild MSD based on a combination of acoustic and perceptive scores. Here, we go a step further by inve...

This paper proposes a variant of a threshold stochastic conditional duration (TSCD) model for financial data at the transaction level. It assumes that the innovations of the duration process follow a threshold distribution with a positive support. In...
