Deviant workplace behavior has become a most costly phenomenon as it includes a wide range of negative acts performed by the employees to harm the organization and its members. The workplace is a forum where employees are seen behaving in different productive manners in order to achieve a common goal. In this research employee deviant has been conceptualized as destructive. While deviant behavior may be harmful, employee deviance can be constructive and functional as well. Employees who engage in constructive deviance, such as innovative behaviors, can provide organizations with necessary creativity. Past researchers have consistently found correlations between deviant behaviors and employees' evaluations of the quality of their work environment. This study explains the impact of trust in management and work Satisfaction a predictor of workplace deviance. To analyze this preference, the questionnaires were distributed randomly to the employees from different industries in SMEs of Malaysia. From the 150 online questionnaires, 115 responses were received. The result of this study helps the managers and supervisors in monitoring the employees to find any dissatisfaction and precaution against unfairness among labors. This research gives an insight of the type of trust in organization that is salient for each construct and allows the management of organizations to take appropriate actions to improve conditions at the workplace and prevent deviance in the organization, the management must create environment that employee perceive enough care and support. Some organizations need to change the work environment and educate workers on how to adapt and cope better to the workplace. The scope of this study is more concerned about deviance in the workplace and most of the questionnaires were filled by employees of SMEs in Malaysia. The respondents include all employees who work in Malaysia. This research have several funding such as trust in management have positive effects on work Satisfaction and negative effect on workplace deviance, and work satisfaction performed as a mediating role to relationship between trust in management and workplace deviance.

Purpose: This manuscript investigates the impact of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behaviour and workplace deviance and examines the mediator effect of organizational citizenship behaviour between organizational justice and workplace deviance.Design/methodology/approach: This study utilizes a quantitative method to investigate four hypotheses using PLS3-SEM on 185 respondents from five research universities in Malaysia.Findings: Findings of this study reveal the positive impact of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behaviour and the negative effects of organizational justice on workplace deviance. Further, the study confirms the mediating effect of organizational citizenship behaviour between organizational justice and workplace deviance significate, especially in higher education. These findings will be helpful guidance for decreasing deviance and eventually increasing employees’ efficiency.Research Limitation: This research focuses on organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviour on workplace deviance. Future study should research some other unique factors relevant to reducing workplace deviance. Although data was collected only once and took almost two months, unequal distribution during the sixty days may affect the accuracy of findings. Future studies should collect data over a period longer than two months to analyze the different reactions of employees to managers’ decisions or behaviorsPractical implications: This study guides and supports managers and employees in putting organizational mechanisms towards improving organizational citizenship behaviors.Originality/value: These research findings expand knowledge on workplace deviance behavior by providing evidence for the different impact of organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviour on workplace deviance.Keywords: Social exchange theory (SET), workplace deviance (WD), organizational justice (OJ), human resource (HR), organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB).

This paper aims to examine what factor relevancy influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms in Thailand. Further, it investigates consumers' behavior during the covid-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was used to examine a sample of 400 Thai consumers who were using online food delivery platforms. Collected data were analyzed using a statistical package program in 3 steps: Confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation model analysis (SEM). Thai consumers increasingly used food delivery on online platforms during the covid-19 epidemic. The study also found that the platform's ease of use, the food delivery service fees, offers or privileges, and payment security on online food delivery platforms influenced consumers’ future use of online food delivery platforms. The food delivery service fees are the most influential factor in using online food delivery platforms. Future research can explore the role of using online food delivery platforms and their impact on the online food delivery platforms. Online food delivery platform providers should lower their service fees, always be implementing new promotions, provide various coupon codes, and create games so that consumers can win prizes. The online food delivery platform providers need to develop consumer trust, ensure that payments are secure, and enhance the ease of use of their platforms. This study contributes to the emerging literature related to online food delivery platforms by studying the relevancy factor that influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms, which are critical for the success of any online food delivery platform provider.

Background Acceptance of diabetes is a psychological adaptation to the potential limitations of the disease. Poor acceptance of diabetes impairs effective self-management of diabetes, leading to worsening metabolic control. This study aimed at determining the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Diabetes Acceptance Scale. Methods This cross-sectional methodological study was performed on diabetic patients in Iran in 2021. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: demographic characteristics and Diabetes Acceptance Scale. The questionnaire was translated into Persian through the forward–backward translation method. The face validity and content validity were performed qualitatively and quantitatively. Exploratory (n = 200) and confirmatory (n = 200) factor analysis were performed to evaluate the validity of the structure. Internal consistency and temporal stability were estimated to determine reliability. Results Exploratory factor analysis on the polychoric correlation matrix obtained three factors: Rational dealing, Resentment and Avoidance, which explained 68.8% of the total DAS variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 3-fractor model had a good fit to a second independent data set. Finally, Ordinal Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.96, 0.94 and 0.93, respectively for the Rational dealing, Resentment, and Avoidance factor. Also, using intraclass correlation coefficient, the stability of the instrument was 0.97. Conclusion Based on the findings of this study, the Persian version of DAS has sufficient validity and reliability to measure the admission of Iranian diabetic patients.
