Organizational deviance

The term organizational deviance is used in criminology and sociology to differentiate it from individual deviance . Organizational deviance includes the use of irregular or illegal means in and by organizations. In contrast, individual deviance refers to individual acts with which actors accidentally, negligently or deliberately deviate from the internal rules of the organization or from external rules such as laws. In the case of organizational deviance, rule violations are primarily oriented towards the benefit of the organization and the benefit of the staff towards the incentive systems of the organization.
