Description Several studies have found a variety of factors as antecedents of deviantbehaviour but the role of family life on workplace deviant behaviour, as wellas the mediating role of perceived competence in the quality of family lifedeviantbehaviour relationship, have received little study. This study examinesthe mediating effect of perceived competence on the relationship between thequality of family life and work-deviant behaviour. The study adopted the wellnessmodel and self-determination theory as theoretical standpoints. Three hundredand eight-four (384) university staff in Nigeria participated in the study. Resultsrevealed that there was a significant negative relationship between the qualityof family life and workplace deviant behaviour. The result of the hierarchicalmultiple regression also revealed that perceived competence mediates thelink between the quality of family life and workplace deviant behaviour. Thesefindings suggest that psychologists should design training programmes aimedat improving the sense of competence and quality of family life, which invariablywill reduce workplace deviant behaviour.
