Abstract
In this fast paced global market, workplace deviant behavior is a cancerous issue for the organizations.

Employee involved in constructive or destructive activities is whether being controllable or uncontrollable it only depends on organizational culture. Employee will intentionally or unintentionally practice deviant activates according to their working environment except their personal abilities. Researcher use the Organizational cultural Assessment Instrument (OCAI) to measure different types of culture. Also cross sectional method was used to measure the variable in two different time spans. Tests and analysis was used to get the means, standard deviations, correlations, and descriptive statistics.
Regression analysis was used to measure impact of moderation effect.

Results indicated that organizational culture has negative and direct effect on workplace deviant behavior. Also job insecurity has negative and significant impact on workplace deviant behavior. But moderation analysis between organizational culture and job insecurity was rejected. Keeping in mind, in this dynamic environment and organizations are facing tough competitions because of that they can’t completely remove the factor of job insecurity among employees. But our finding suggest other actions can be taken through which organizations might be able to minimize the disastrous effect of job insecurity, by making their employees realize that they are great assets to their company and giving them freedom of making decision. This study will be of great value to HR specialists who are interested in developing strong culture through which deviant behavior can be minimized.
