Workplace deviant behavior causes not only physical and mental harm to employees but also great losses to the enterprise where they are employed. Drawing on social cognitive theory, in this study we explored the mechanism of family-supportive supervisor behavior on employees' workplace deviant behavior. Analysis of data from 312 participants showed that family-supportive supervisor behavior negatively influenced employees' workplace deviant behavior, and that moral disengagement played a mediating role in the relationship between these two variables. Our findings not only enrich the literature on family-supportive supervisor behavior but also provide a reference for organizations to identify, prevent, and control employees' workplace deviant behavior.

We have demonstrated that at room temperature the electric polarization of a ferroelectric polymer, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), in an artificial multiferroic structure can be controlled by applying an external magnetic field. We found that as the applied magnetic field is changed, the switching of electric polarization for the PVDF depends on the external magnetic field. We also noticed that both the electric coercivity and polarization of the PVDF polymer display hysteretic features as the applied magnetic field is changed. We found that the thickness of the PVDF layer has an effect on the magnetoelectric coupling strength in our samples. The coupling sensitivity increases as the PVDF layer thickness increases. It is possible to control the ferroelectric properties of a PVDF film by tuning the external magnetic field.
