enforcement agencies. Deviant behavior need to be studied by scholars to prevent detrimental effects such as job
dissatisfaction, intention to quit, stress, decreased productivity, loss of work time, high turnover rate and financial costs
among employees. The purpose of this paper is to explore the types of deviant workplace behavior in the government
sector in Malaysia. Data collection for the research was carried out by interviewing 14 law enforcement officers in
Malaysia. This study involves various departments. The study found that there are various types of misconduct existing at
the organization e.g. bribery, uninformed polygamy, drugs, on-line gambling, absenteeism, and lateness. This study also
provided a framework on types of misconduct to the enforcement agency. |
