“…We would expect these relationships to be moderate, but not as strong as the relationships found between the instrument being validated and other measures purporting to assess the same or similar constructs. Specifically, we looked at the degree of association between the scores on our workplace deviance scales and scores on the following scales: Frustration (Peters, O'Connor, & Rudolf, 1980); Procedural, Dis-tributive and Interactional Injustice (Niehoff & Moorman, 1993); Normlessness (Dean, 1961); Machiavellianism (Christie & Geis, 1970); and two subscales of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Moorman, & Fetter, 1990). See Table 4 for the results.…”

The purpose of this research was to develop broad, theoretically derived measure(s) of deviant behavior in the workplace. Two scales were developed: a 12-item scale of organizational deviance (deviant behaviors directly harmful to the organization) and a 7-item scale of interpersonal deviance (deviant behaviors directly harmful to other individuals within the organization). These scales were found to have internal reliabilities of .81 and .78, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis verified that a 2-factor structure had acceptable fit. Preliminary evidence of construct validity is also provided. The implications of this instrument for future empirical research on workplace deviance are discussed.

Does a money‐is‐all attitude cause alienation? A cross‐cultural comparison of Korea, the US and Sweden

Money is increasingly being attributed more value in society, although a money-is-all attitude decreases social relationships and increases alienation in modern, industrialized societies. This research investigated the influence of this money-is-all attitude on alienation based on a cross-cultural comparison of Korea, the US and Sweden. The money-is-all attitude was defined as a perspective in which money is regarded as an indicator of achievement or success.Self-administered online surveys were conducted with consumers ranging between the ages of 20 to 49 in Korea, the US and Sweden. The money-is-all attitude and alienation seemed to be more pervasive in Korea than in the US or Sweden. The money-is-all attitude was the factor with the strongest influence on alienation when controlling for sociodemographic factors. Furthermore, participation in sports activities was an important factor in decreasing alienation levels. The findings of this research imply that materialistic ways of thinking increase alienation and that money cannot contribute to human happiness and well-being. In addition, active participation in social activities can decrease alienation.The research results suggest that a materialistic, money-is-all attitude negatively influences alienation across cultures; in addition, in the US, an affluent consumption-based country, the money-is-all attitude had more explanatory power for alienation than in Sweden and Korea. A change in values to overcome the money-is-all attitude is required and the concepts of sufficiency and mindfulness are suggested as alternative life perspectives for the pursuit of well-being.

“…Today's society is dominated by organizations and organizations are dominated by computerized information systems. Alienation is contextual and has been defined and measured differently under labels such as political alienation (Dean, 1960(Dean, & 1961, social alienation (Nettler, 1975), and consumer alienation from the marketplace (Allison, 1978). Allison's instrument has been adapted to measure students' feeling of alienation from universities with regard to data privacy and security management practices.…”

Organizations such as universities collect and use personal data about customers such as students. How do students feel about their university's practices related to error in data and access to personal data? Using data collected via a survey of 187 students at a large U.S. university, we investigate the effects of these two privacy and security concerns on students' feeling of alienation. Implications of the results are discussed in light of ethics, strategy, design, control and administration of personal information management systems.
