Impact of Job Insecurity and Work Family Conflict on Workplace Cheating Behavior and Intention to Leave

Abstract

The research is conducted to examine the factors that influence workplace cheating
behavior and employees’ intention to leave in the banking sector of Pakistan. The paper
attempts to analyze the relationship between job insecurity and work-family conflict with
workplace cheating behavior and intention to leave; along with the mediating role of
negative workplace relationships. Structured questionnaires have been used to collect
data from bank employees for quantitative data analysis. The tools used for data
analysis were SPSS and Smart PLS. The findings of the research suggest that job
insecurity and work-family conflict has a positive association with intention to leave and
workplace cheating behavior. On the other hand, the findings negate the mediating role
of negative workplace relationships between job insecurity, work-family conflict and
workplace cheating behavior and intention to leave. The findings of this study may be
used to develop adequate strategies to build employee commitment by focusing on
providing job security and work-life balance to employees to reduce deviant workplace
behaviors and turnover in the organizations.
