TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Work alienation, deviant workplace behavior and performance in public sector JO - Sustainability (Basel) A1 - García-Contreras, Rigoberto A1 - Muñoz-Chávez, Juana Patricia A1 - Muñoz-Chávez, Rosa Leticia A1 - Lezama-León, Evangelina A1 - Barrios-Quiroz, Héctor SP - e10490 EP - e10490 VL - 14 IS - 17 N2 - The aim of this article is to analyze the level of association and effect between work alienation, deviant workplace behavior, and performance in public sector organizations. Based on a literature review and relying on the theoretical perspective of the knowledge-based view strategy, the hypotheses were formulated. The method consisted of a cross-sectional study in Mexican public organizations, and a multivariate analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed. The results confirmed the association between work alienation, deviant workplace behavior, and performance. Furthermore, findings showed a high and positive relationship between work alienation and organizational performance within the context. The originality lies in the positive incidence among the variables under study within the public sector context; this is not consistent with what is suggested by the related literature.
