· My journal entry for this week is inspired by my reading about workplace deviance. Workplace deviance is unethical behavior that violates organizational norms from right and wrong.

· I would like to think that because of my past business and professional life experience I am knowledgeable about workplace deviance. I found the reading to be a strong reminder that I need to be conscience of workplace deviance. I want to share how this is impacting my professional life this week. I have been away in Europe for the last 12 days only arriving back in America 2 days ago. I traveled with a Club Sports team and was tasked with being their advisor, not there chaperone or babysitter. This group of students were some that I had not worked with before and had only met on one pervious occasion. I was both excited and nervous to travel and get to know them. We bonded immediately and I enjoyed supporting them as they trained, volunteered, explored and bonded. On one of our late night chats or debriefs as I call this time it was brought to my attention that one young lady was being harassed by a professional trainer back at my intuition. I was alarmed and shocked and immediately reached out to my director in the states and filed a compliant. Personal Aggression is not something I had experienced while I have been employed at Cat University. I am grateful for my career and to the department chairs that have trust in my co-workers and myself. We have open communication and strive to live by our mission.

· Production deviance has never been an issue for us because we have projects and responsibilities that have to be completed with deadlines and we are empowered to have good time management. Property deviance and political deviance are not something that I have ever encountered in my current position. For this I am grateful.
