Abstract

This study examines the relationship between job dissatisfaction and deviant workplace behavior, with organizational politics and resilience as moderating factors. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 282 paramedic staff in Pakistan’s healthcare sector through structured questionnaires. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between job dissatisfaction and deviance behavior. Organizational politics was found to exacerbate this relationship, while resilience served as a mitigating factor. These findings highlight the importance of addressing workplace dissatisfaction and managing organizational politics while promoting resilience to mitigate deviant behaviors. Practical implications include strategies for fostering employee satisfaction and reducing perceptions of workplace politics.
