“…Impulsivity in general has been found to relate to dysfunctional and distorted cognitions and workplace deviance (Henle, 2005;Mobini, Pearce, Grant, Mills, & Yeomans, 2006), and in particular, lower premeditation is associ ated with a variety of dysfunctional behaviors such as criminal behavior and alcohol-related problems (Jones & Lynam, 2009;King, Karyadi, Luk, & Patock-Peckham, 2011;Lynam & Miller, 2004). Individuals who are lower in premeditation do not strongly consider the consequences of their actions and may be unable or unwilling to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a partic ular behavior before acting on it (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001).…”

Being intentionally harmful in original ways has been termed "malevolent creativity." The empirical study of malevolent creativity is still in its infancy, so developing a strong foundation of its antecedents is paramount. Three factors were identified as potentially influencing the generation of malevolently creative ideas: implicit aggression, which is aggression that is beyond one's conscious awareness; premeditation, a facet of impulsivity that pertains to the degree of planning and forethought an individual engages in before acting; and situations that condone or otherwise provoke the use of malevolent creativity. Consistent with our hypotheses, and in accordance with the theory of trait activation, a 3-way interaction among those factors was obtained. Specifically, the interaction indicates that individuals who are more implicitly aggressive and less premeditative are more likely to be malevolently creative in response to situations that provoke malevolent creativity.

“…Moreover, research shows that as a key individual characteristic, self-control exists on a continuum within individuals (Tangney et al 2004). Lower self-control relates to greater impulsivity (Jones and Lynam 2009;Nagin and Pogarsky 2001), criminality, and deviance (Gottfredson and Hirschi 1990), and higher self-control relates to increased behavioral deliberation . For example, compared with their counterparts with higher self-control, individuals with lower self-control often react quickly because they give less consideration to their behaviors before acting to derive near-term benefits at the expense of longerterm payoffs .…”

Reports indicate that employees are willing to share sensitive information under certain circumstances, and one-third to half of security breaches are tied to insiders. These statistics reveal that organizational security efforts, which most often rely on deterrence-based sanctions to address the insider threats to information security, are insufficient. Thus, insiders’ computer abuse (ICA)—unauthorized and deliberate misuse of organizational information resources by organizational insiders—remains a significant issue for industry. We present a motive–control theory of ICA that distinguishes among instrumental and expressive motives and internal and external controls. Specifically, we show that organizational deterrents (e.g., sanctions) do not create motives for ICA, but weaken existing motives (e.g., financial benefits). Conversely, financial benefits and psychological contract violations create motives to perform ICA, and insiders’ self-control diminishes the influence of these motives. The implications for practice are threefold: (1) organizations should make efforts to reduce psychological contract breach for employees by increasing the congruence between expectations and reality to reduce expressive motives for ICA; (2) organizations should seek maintain personnel with adequate self-control to diminish the impact of harmful ICA motives should they arise; and (3) organizations should develop targeted sanctions for committing ICA to control the harmful influence of financial motives.

“…Rook (1987) postulated that different people show various tendencies for impulse buying. According to Jones and Lynam (2009), there are a variety of scales to evaluate the tendency of consumers' impulse buying. From the previous studies, it is therefore concluded that reasons for impulse buying are different in different people and it may also be affected by the lifestyle of individuals.…”

Impulsive buying is a dream segment for retailers and marketers. Stimulants in retail environment evoke a sudden urge for the acquisition of products spontaneously. This desire for immediate possession and instant gratification may get an effect from the religious orientation and various beliefs of an individual. This study seeks to examine the influence of religiosity on impulsive buying behavior through various beliefs. Based on the theoretical assumption underpinning Values-Attitudes-Behavior (VAB) hierarchy and theory of consistency, this study examines religiosity as an antecedent of materialism, risk aversion, life satisfaction which ultimalty drive impulsive buying tendencies. A self-administrated survey questionnaire was used to collect the data by using mall-intercept approach. The sample size consisted of 272 consumers of apparel products. Structural equation modeling technique was carried out to establish the reliability, validity of measures and to examine the relational paths. In general, results are in support of propositions that the religiosity precedes various types of beliefs that turn into impulsive buying tendencies. Inner individual spiritual meanings and exterior social meaning of religious values condemn materialistic beliefs and enhance the risk aversion and life satisfaction of customers. Furthermore, customers with higher-level materialistic beliefs are more inclined towards impulsive tendencies, while the less risk-takers and satisfied with their life have lower impulsive tendencies. It requires incorporating the aspect of religious beliefs with behavioral outcomes. The findings of the study have significant implications for retailers of developing countries.
