Abstract

This study was carried out to identify the various aspects of deviant behaviors in workplace. To this end, we adopted the qualitative meta-synthesis research method. The statistical population of the study included all articles, studies, and theses related to our research topic and carried out in the periods 1391-1400 SH and 2006-2021 CE. After running criterion-based purposive sampling, 450 related studies were found. In the review phase, 100 studies were removed due to the title incompatibility, 30 articles because of the inappropriateness of abstract, and 20 articles due to the content incompatibility with the research topic. Thus, the number of examined studies reduced to 300. The data was analyzed using Strauss and Corbin model and coding in open, axial, and selective stages. The qualitative analysis phase led to the identification of 333 concepts, 133 secondary categories, and 16 primary categories. These were grouped in the form of causal conditions (professional, organizational, individual, and group factors), contextual conditions (social, cultural, and legal factors), intervening conditions (profiteering and political behaviors), strategies (organizational, group, and individual deviation), and consequences (individual, organizational, and professional consequences) in the conceptual model of the study.
