A Theoretical and Systematic Review on Organizational Deviance Behaviors in Aviation
Abstract
This review aims to evaluate organizational deviance and its associated factors within the context of the aviation industry, clarify the position of this phenomenon in the sector, and provide a roadmap for potential future interventions. Organizational deviance is defined in the literature as intentional behavior directed against organizational norms and values that are collectively adopted by employees. Given the high-risk and safety-critical nature of aviation, understanding and managing such behaviors is particularly vital in this sector. Within this scope, a total of ten articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed and the findings were categorized under three main themes: psychological concepts, safety and risk, and employee-focused studies.
