Abstract

The goal of this study is to look at the impact of internal and external corporate social irresponsibility (ICSIR & ECSIR) on organisational workplace deviant behaviour (OWDB) in Generation Z and Generation Y, utilising anger as a mediator. The information was gathered from 272 non-managerial employees working in the textile industry. Employing attribution theory, the model was estimated using multigroup analysis (MGA-PLS). The results showed that ICSIR and ECSIR had a positive effect on OWDB. Anger emotions mediated between ICSIR and OWDB, as well as between ECSIR and OWDB. The MGA findings indicated that Generation Z's anger and OWDB in reaction to ICSIR and ECSIR are statistically different from Generation Y's. The findings suggest that harming stakeholders' interests, whether internal or external, will cost organisational performance through deviant behaviour. This result recommends to organisational leaders that corporate social irresponsibility may be one of the organisational factors that lead to workplace deviance. This study is noteworthy in that it verified the impact of ICSIR and ECSIR on OWDB. Second, it contributed to the body of knowledge about generation cohorts in the context of employees' reactions to corporate social irresponsibility.
