GARCIA-CONTRERAS, Rigoberto  and  FIERRO-MORENO, Eréndira. Deviant Workplace Behavior and Knowledge Sharing: The Relationship and Mediating Effect of Work Alienation. Pensam. gest. [online]. 2019, n.46, pp.108-136. ISSN 1657-6276.  https://doi.org/10.14482/pege.46.2107.

The aim of this scientific article was to determine the level of association between deviant workplace behaviors, work alienation and knowledge sharing; also, to determine the extent to which work alienation mediates the relationship between deviant behavior at work and knowledge sharing. Based on a literature review and relying on the theoretical perspective "social exchange theory", the research hypotheses were formulated. Through a transactional study in Mexican organizations of the public sector, and based on the perception of 239 public servants, the hypotheses proposed were tested. A multivariate analysis (SEM) was performed. The results confirmed the association between the variables under study, and it was proved that work alienation is a mediating variable between deviant workplace behavior and knowledge sharing.

Keywords : work alienation; deviant workplace behaviors; knowledge sharing; public sector.
