Abstract
Nowadays, deviant workplace behaviour has become a primary financial and socio-economic concern for private and governmental organisations worldwide. Numerous works of Nigerian literature, national and international dailies, and media have reported staggering cases of organisational deviance with its attendant consequences. The most worrying of these cases is its prevalence among academics in the Nigerian high institution of learning. Works of literature have linked several factors with the problem. However, scholars have paid less attention to the employee’s early work experience, commitment to work and formal control. With the support of the Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Deterrence Theory (DT), this study examined the role of leadership style in moderating the effects of onboarding training, organisational control, and organisational commitment on deviant workplace behaviour. A quota sampling technique was applied to determine the research population. After using a G* power sample size determination criterion, 356 academics from Federal Polytechnics located in the Northwest Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria participated in the study. Due to movements restriction as a result of the Covid - 19 pandemic, and security challenges in the study areas, an electronic xxii questionnaire was used to collect cross-sectional data.
