    abstract = {Although, extant empirical research on workplace deviance has focused primarily on the retail, hospitality and banking industry, however there is a paucity of research investigating employee misbehaviour in other service settings such as higher education institutions. Drawing upon social learning theory, this study examined the influence of group norms on deviant behaviour at work among 182 teaching staff from various higher education institutions in Nigeria including universities, colleges of education and polytechnics. A web-based survey was used to collect data through a self-administered electronic questionnaire. Using Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling, researchers found that perceived descriptive norm was significantly and positively related to interpersonal deviance and organisational deviance. The findings also support the hypothesized influence of perceived injunctive norm on both interpersonal and organisational deviance. The implications for future research on group norms and workplace deviance are discussed.}
