Stress and negative behaviors in the workplace are major concerns for many organizations today. Deviant work behaviors, in their various forms, have serious consequences and therefore represent a key area requiring attention.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of three specific deviant behaviors: workplace exclusion, bullying, and cyber-bullying. To test the proposed model and hypotheses, data were collected using a proportional stratified random sample of 385 undergraduate students within the academic environment of Cairo University. Analysis of the data revealed that (1) workplace exclusion, bullying, and cyber-bullying were strongly and significantly negatively correlated with students' academic performance, self-esteem, and affective commitment to the university. (2) These deviant behaviors explained 26 % of the variance in academic performance, 25.8 % in self-esteem, and 26.2% in affective commitment.
