Abstract
The present study aims to develop a preventive model for employee deviant behaviors using a thematic analysis approach. This research is applied in purpose and qualitative in nature, employing the thematic analysis method. The statistical population consists of 10 management professors with at least ten years of relevant experience and deep expertise in the prevention of deviant employee behaviors within the Tourism Deputy of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts of Iran, who were selected via purposive and criterion-based sampling. The analysis process continued until theoretical saturation was reached. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the thematic analysis method with MAXQDA 2020 software. The findings revealed that employee deviant behaviors in this organization are identified within five main components: individual factors (personality traits, motivation, and job satisfaction); organizational factors (organizational structure and processes, organizational culture, compensation systems); managerial factors (leadership style, supervision and accountability, organizational communication); environmental and institutional factors (legal framework and external oversight, social and cultural pressures, economic conditions); and preventive strategies (pre-occurrence prevention, early detection, post-occurrence action, and correction). The results suggest that the implementation of this model can lead to improved administrative health, enhanced quality of organizational interactions, and the strengthening of cultural values in the workplace.
