Answer to Question 2

Deviant workplace behavior (also called antisocial behavior or workplace incivility) is voluntary behavior that violates significant organizational norms and, in doing so, threatens the well-being of the organization or its members.
Like norms in general, individual employees' antisocial actions are shaped by the group context within which they work. Evidence demonstrates that antisocial behavior exhibited by a work group is a significant predictor of an individual's antisocial behavior at work. In other words, deviant workplace behavior is likely to flourish where it's supported by group norms. Workers who socialize either at or outside work with people who are frequently absent from work are more likely to be absent themselves. Someone who ordinarily wouldn't engage in deviant behavior might be more likely to do so when working in a group. A recent study suggests those working in a group were more likely to lie, cheat, and steal than individuals working alone. Thus, deviant behavior depends on the accepted norms of the groupor even whether an individual is part of a group.
