Impact of perceived organizational injustice on deviant behaviors: moderating impact of self-control

The main purpose of this study is to identify the buffering role of employee self-control on the positive association between perceived organizational injustice and deviant behaviors. We got surveys-based data from full-time workers of the Netherlands’ Employee Insurances Agency (UWV). Fundamental analysis of data exhibited a good fit between the data and the model tested. In line with our expectation, a significant positive significant relationship was observed between the predictor and outcome variables. Moreover, the moderating impact of self-control on the positive significant relationship between distributive injustice (DJ) and procedural injustice (PJ) with organization-directed deviant workplace behaviors (DBO) was also confirmed. Similarly, analysis also revealed that self-control moderated the association between perception of interactional injustice (IJ) of employees and Individual-directed deviant workplace behaviors (DBI).
