Abstract

The researcher’s purpose upon composing this research is to examine the relationship between Self-Reactiveness and Workplace Deviance among college interns. This is done because the researcher feels with the existence of an unsupportive and inadequate work environment, members who undergo an internship program intentionally and consciously choose not to show their optimal skills and abilities as a reaction and self-regulation. The researcher used a quantitative approach which is Pearson’s Correlation for this study, with the respondents being college students who are or had been undergoing an internship program. The technique used for data collection is voluntary response sampling. The number of participants in this study were 100 college students. The Self-Regulation Scale (SRS) and The Workplace Deviance Test (WDT) are two measuring tools used for the research’s measurement. The result of the study reveals that the correlation between self-reactiveness and workplace deviance is insignificant. The study concludes that the relationship between self-reactiveness and workplace deviance is insignificant.
