Abstract: Deviance research usually proceeds on the assumption that self-serving deviations from organizational or legal rules are detrimental to the organization. This assumption suggests a distinction against deviations that are functional for the organization. Based on a secondary analysis of seminal studies about embezzlement, corruption or abstinence from work, this paper examines possible functionalities of these deviant practices for the organization. Whereas they are, in many cases, detrimental to the organization, the author argues that in other cases toleration of embezzlement, corruption and abstinence from work may serve as part of a system of informal reward or incentive.
