Abstract
This study aims to conduct empirical research regarding the issue of deviant behavior among public administrators. Organizational and interpersonal deviances have been used, describing deviance as a multidimensional construct. The study also identified public accountability dimensions; external accountability, internal accountability, leadership, and personality as contributors to the deviance problem. The structural equation modelling showed all constructs showed a degree of validity and reliability and indicated a fit model. Public accountability dimensions have caused variance in organizational and interpersonal deviance, except leadership. The findings can be used by decision-makers to identify the effect of public accountability against deviant behavior.
