Understanding Impact of Work-Family Conflict on Workplace Deviance Behavior: A Case of Mediation and Moderation of Moral Disengagement and Job Insecurity

This study helps to investigate the impact of work-family conflict on workplace deviant behaviour by exploring how stress arising from conflicting role demands can lead employees to get themselves involved in counterproductive work behaviours. Also, this study ascertains the mediating role of moral disengagement between work-family conflict and workplace deviant behaviour and the moderating function of job insecurity among work-family conflict and workplace deviant behaviour. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, where the target population were individuals working in the education sector in Punjab-Pakistan. Two-step data analysis was performed; at first, model fitness was determined through a measurement model (CFA) and second, hypotheses were tested through a structure equation model (SEM). SPSS and AMOS statistical packages were deployed to perform data analysis, whereas Hays process macros were used for testing mediation and moderation analysis. Data analysis showed significant positive results for all hypothesized relationships.
