Workplace deviant behavior varies from negative to positive, whenever employees threaten the well-being of an organization, is considered as negative workplace deviance and when employees do some creative or innovative work it is considered as positive workplace deviance. Bennett and Robinson (2003) have defined workplace deviance as “purposeful behavior that violates organizational norms and is intended to harm the organization, its employees, or both”. Robbins and Judge (2007) have defined deviant workplace behavior as “voluntary behavior that violates significant organizational norms and, in doing so, threatens the well-being of the organization or its members”.

You do not need to get solution. Please indicate and explain all relevant information/assumptions explicitly.An international company aims to make the production, inventory and workforce plans for one of its production facilities. They obtained the following demand data for their system in a unit of tons during last 6 months. Month Demand Forecast Production Days 1 260 20 2 290 25 3 420 20 4 230 15 5 250 19 6 230 15 In their planning process, they will use three ahead moving average method (N=2) to predict the future demand data for next 6 months. There are currently 100 workers employed at the company. It is observed that, over a period of 30 working days, 20 workers produced 120 tons. The cost of hiring up to 25 workers is $750, and after 25 hires cost decreases to $600. Firing a worker costs $550. Inventory holding cost is $40 per ton per month.

Campbell v. Carr
603 S.E.2d 625, Web 2004 S.C. App. Lexis 276 (2004)
Court of Appeals of South Carolina
“This inadequate consideration combined with Carr’s weakness of mind, due to her schizophrenia and depression, makes it inequitable to order specific performance.”
—Anderson, Judge
Facts
Martha M. Carr suffered from schizophrenia and depression. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder that is characterized by disturbances in perception, inferential thinking, delusions, hallucinations, and grossly disorganized behavior. Depression is characterized by altered moods and diminished ability to think or concentrate. Carr was taking prescription drugs for her mental diseases. Carr, a resident of New York, inherited from her mother a 108-acre tract of unimproved land in South Carolina. Carr contacted Raymond C. and Betty Campbell (Campbell), who had leased the property for 30 years, about selling the property to them. Carr asked Campbell how much the property was worth, and Campbell told Carr $54,000. Carr and Campbell entered into a written contract for $54,000. Campbell paid Carr earnest money. Carr subsequently missed the closing day for the sale of the property, returned the earnest money, and refused to sell the property to Campbell. Campbell sued Carr to obtain a court judgment ordering Carr to specifically perform the contract. At trial, evidence and expert witness testimony placed the value of the property at $162,000. Testimony showed that Campbell knew the value of the property exceeded $54,000. The court agreed with Campbell and ordered Carr to specifically perform the contract. Carr appealed.
Issue
Does Carr, because of her mental diseases of schizophrenia and depression, lack the mental capacity to enter into the contract with Campbell?
Language of the Court
This inadequate consideration combined with Carr’s weakness of mind, due to her schizophrenia and depression, makes it inequitable to order specific performance.
Decision
The court of appeals held that Carr’s mental diseases of schizophrenia and depression affected her ability to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the property. The court held that Carr did not have to sell her property to Campbell.
Ethics Questions
Should Carr have been relieved of her contracts? Did the Campbells act unethically in this case?
