A Study of Deviance as a Retaliatory Response to Organizational
Power
Randi L. Sims
Abstract
In a time when ethical scandals are commonplace in the media, one begins
to wonder just what organizations are doing wrong. This paper analyzes the
Fall 2006 boardroom spying scandal at Hewlett-Packard to determine if the
workplace deviance observed can be linked to a retaliatory response to
organizational power. A summary of the events leading up to, during, and
the fall-out of the scandal are reported.
