JMI Revisionist History of Workplace Deviance.

In the mid-90s, we embarked on establishing the domain of Workplace Deviance. Though we were fortunate to meet our intended goals and have the impact we had hoped for, we have often thought about what we might have done differently. In this essay, we outline some of the things we wish we knew then that we know now. As we will describe, we perhaps should have chosen a different construct name, taken a theoretical rather than data driven approach to our typology, and developed a reflective rather than formative scale. We hope this essay based on our hindsight may be of value to future scholars seeking to establish new constructs in our field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
