Abstract

This study investigates the impact of social information process on individual misbehavior of employees with respect to the role of emotions and cohesion as moderators among university employees. The descriptive statistics techniques have been used in this research .Using simple distribution sampling, the sample size of 162 has been selected from the population of 280 university employees. In performing the survey, several questionnaires such as Ferguson (2007), Beneeth and Robinson (2000), Watson Clark and Telgen (1998), Dobbins and Zakaro (1968), and Robins (1998) have been used to evaluate the list of variables including misbehavior, emotions, and cooperation, respectively. Also, to evaluate the model, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method and Smart PLS application have been used. Results suggest that there is a positive correlation between social information factors and misbehavior. In addition, the co-operation and emotion moderate the relation between social information and individual misbehaviors.
