dc.description.abstractStructural equation modeling was used to assess the influence of employee deviance and substance use on negative job performance in samples of municipal employees. The causal model was estimated and cross-validated using LISREL VII procedures. Primary purposes of the study were (1) to examine the independent influence of employee substance use on negative job behavior after controlling for a general factor representing behavioral deviance (which included measures of risk-taking, deviant drug attitudes, commitment to deviant peers, and criminal behavior) and other measures important for behavior in the workplace; and (2) to appraise the relative importance of the general deviance paradigm for explaining behavior among adult employee groups. Results indicated that the causal model was a viable representation of the data in an initial employee sample as well as a cross-validation sample and subgroup samples for age and gender. Highlighted by these results was the importance of the deviance construct for explaining substance use, organizational bonding, and negative job performance in the workplace and the relative insignificance of substance use in the model after controlling for general deviance.
