Deviant behavior is the behavior that violates organizational norms, thus becoming a threat and has negative impacts on employees and the organizations. This study examined the influence of religiosity and Islamic work ethics on deviant behavior in the organization, and the influence of the mediator, intention to stay, on the relationship between religiosity, Islamic work ethics and deviant behavior. 217 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents involved in this study. However, only 122 questionnaires were returned and used for further analysis. Then, factor analyses were performed on each of the variables. There are four dimensions in deviant behavior: personal aggression, sabotage and destructive action on organization, abuse of time and organization resources, and misappropriation for personal interests. Meanwhile, religiosity consists of three dimensions, namely highly religious behavior, belief and faith, and sacrifice. Islamic work ethics is divided into two dimensions known as diligent and moral responsibility. There are two dimensions such as, affective intention to stay and normative intention to stay in the variables of intention to stay. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the entire hypothesis. The findings showed that the dimensions of highly religious behavior, sacrifices and moral responsibility have significant and negative effects on several dimensions of deviant behavior. Furthermore, the findings revealed that normative intention to stay plays a partial mediator’s role in the relationship. The Theory of Planned Behavior was used as the underpinning theory for the theoretical framework. The limitations of this study were the small number of respondents and the perspectives of Islam. Therefore, it is recommended that future researchers conduct studies with a higher number of respondents and examine the relationship with other religions.
