The Relationship Between Ethical Climate, Workplace Deviance, and Mindfulness

Abstract

Development of postmodern organizational approaches in the knowledge-based business environment plays a major role on the gaining importance of knowledge-based talents and skills. Moreover, corporate governance-related progress impacts structures and implications of organizations. Enterprises must follow the rules required by the age and regard the innovations in order to maintain their assets and provide competitive advantage. For that reason, human-related innovations and practices are popular in the management area. In this perspective, ethics is one of the most significant issues in both business and social life. Enhancement of negative work outcomes triggers the efforts for the establishment of ethical climates. Increase of the workplace deviance of employees also influences the need of moderating variables in the relationship between ethical climates and deviance. This chapter mentions ethical climate, workplace deviance, and mindfulness. Moreover, relations between variables are discussed in reference to the literature.
