"A negative reciprocity orientation is the tendency for an individual to return negative treatment for negative treatment".<sup id="cite_ref-Mitchell_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mitchell-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In other words, the maxim "an eye for an eye" is a concept that some employees strongly feel is a suitable approach to their problem.

Abusive supervision is defined as the "subordinates' perceptions of the extent to which their supervisors engage in the sustained display of hostile verbal and nonverbal behaviors".<sup id="cite_ref-Mitchell_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mitchell-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This could be when supervisors ridicule their employees, give them the <a href="/wiki/Silent_treatment" title="Silent treatment">silent treatment</a>, remind them of past failures, fail to give proper credit, wrongfully assign blame or blow up in fits of temper.<sup id="cite_ref-Larsen_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Larsen-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It may seem like employees who are abused by their supervisor will either directly retaliate or withdraw by quitting the job but in reality many strike out against their employer by engaging in organizational deviant behaviors. Since employees control many of the organization's resources, they often use, or abuse anything they can. This abuse of resources may come in the form of time, office supplies, raw materials, finished products or the services that they provide. This usually occurs in two steps. First step is that commitment is destroyed and employees stop caring about the welfare of the employer. The second step is that the abused employee will get approval (normally implied) of their coworkers to commit deviant acts.<sup id="cite_ref-Larsen_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Larsen-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Workplace experiences may fuel the worker to <a href="/wiki/Act_out" class="mw-redirect" title="Act out">act out</a>. Research has been conducted demonstrating that the perception of not being <a href="/wiki/Respect" title="Respect">respected</a> is one of the main causes for workplace deviance; workplace dissatisfaction is also a factor. According to Bolin and Heatherly,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "dissatisfaction results in a higher incidence of minor offenses, but does not necessarily lead to severe offense". An employee who is less satisfied with his or her work may become less productive as their needs are not met. In the workplace, "frustration, injustices and threats to self are primary antecedents to employee deviance".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although workplace deviance does occur, the behavior is not universal. There are two preventive measures that business owners can use to protect themselves. The first is strengthening the employee's commitment by reacting strongly to abusive supervision so that the employee knows that the behavior is not accepted. Holding the employee at high esteem by reminding them of their importance, or setting up programs that communicate concern for the employee may also strengthen employee commitment. Providing a positive ethical climate can also help. Employers can do this by having a clear code of conduct that is applied to both managers and employees alike.<sup id="cite_ref-Larsen_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Larsen-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Workplace_deviance&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Types"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Workplace deviance may be expressed in various ways.
