Abstract

This study examines the effects of Personal Value by its diminutions (Family Relationship, Social Relationship, Personal Growth Development, Religion Spirituality, And Community Citizenship) on Organizational Deviate Behaviors, including (Organizational Deviance, Interpersonal Deviance, And The Awareness of Deviant Behaviors). The data were collected from the Ministry of Trade and Industry in Erbil, using a sample of (345 employees. Data were obtained using a descriptive-analytical framework and a questionnaire, the primary means of data collection for this study. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were completed with SPSS version 28. The results of the study provided evidence that personal value is positively related to behaviors that differ from Organizational Standards. The study discovered that there is a significant negative correlation between personal value and organizational deviant behaviors, as well as the positive effect of personal value on organizational deviant behaviors. The study recommends implementing strategies to decrease deviance. To assist with employees’ adherence to the proper standards within their organizations, providing clear behavioral guidelines for appropriate conduct at work, performing ongoing evaluations, and delivering constructive employee feedback are valuable methods for maintaining ethical, productive employees. In addition, the ability to create a supportive/ethical workplace environment through effective leadership and a feeling of fairness with an organization will go a long way toward helping to build, maintain discipline within an organization, and mitigate inappropriate, unproductive behaviors.
