Abstract
The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the relationship between procedural
justice and deviant workplace behavior with the mediation of perceived organizational
support. After applying purposive sampling technique, a sample of 150 respondents has
been drawn from the target population. Data on the three variables with the help of a
single adopted questionnaire have been collected. Data has been analyzed through
correlation and regression analysis. Results revealed that: 1) procedural justice and
deviant workplace behavior has negative and significant relationship; 2) procedural
justice has significant and positive relationships with perceived organizational support; 3)
deviant workplace behavior has a significant and negative relationship with perceived
organizational support; and 4) the perceived organizational support acts as a partial
mediator between procedural justice and workplace deviance. The results have
implications for managers in the sense that if they have policies based on justice and are
successful in the dispensation of procedural justice, perpetration of negative behaviors of
workforce could be minimized, if not eliminated. Besides, this will boost the morale of
employees and they will contribute positively to achieve the organizational goals. The
study has included perceived organizational support as a mediator for the first time.
