Deviant behavior is a behavior that becomes the focus of researchers and organization, because of the universality, seriousness and negative effect towards an organization and the country. Logically, religiosity and Islamic work ethics need to be in practice and become the guidelines to curb and prevent the deviant behavior. However, previous study on the relationship between religiosity, Islamic work ethics and deviant behaviors are very limited. This preliminary study aims to reveal the impact of religiosity and the Islamic work ethics towards the workplace deviant behavior.
