Article: Testing the mediating role of POS between perceived AMO framework and deviant behaviours in the Indian IT sector Journal: European Journal of International Management (EJIM) 2023 Vol.19 No.2 pp.198 - 216 Abstract: This study empirically investigates the impact of perceived abilities, motivation, and opportunities-enhancing HRM practices (AMO framework) on destructive and constructive deviance. Additionally, this study explores the mediating role of perceived organisational support (POS) between perceived abilities-motivation-opportunity (AMO) framework and destructive and constructive deviance. Data was collected from 265 entry-level IT employees. Structural equation modelling was used to test direct, indirect, and mediating effects. Results revealed a significant negative relationship between perceived abilities-motivation-opportunity (AMO) framework and destructive deviance and a significant positive relationship with constructive deviance. Furthermore, results revealed the significant positive impact of perceived abilities, motivation, and opportunities-enhancing HRM practices on the perceived organisational support (POS). Similarly, POS exhibited a significant negative relationship with destructive and positive relationship with constructive deviance. Utilising organisational support theory (OST), results proposed partial mediation of POS between perceived abilities, motivation, opportunities-enhancing HRM practices and destructive and constructive deviance.
