Este estudio examina la anomia como antecedente de los comportamientos desviados en el trabajo dirigidos, bien contra la organización, los compañeros, o los clientes. El modelo analizado sugiere que la anomia individual de Srole (1956), medida por su escala ampliada a 9-ítems en 1972, se desdobla en dos dimensiones: ‘ausencia de valores’ y ‘cinismo’. Ambas se espera propicien conductas desviadas en el trabajo, o deviant workplace behaviors (DWB). Los datos fueron extraídos de 99 de los 156 (63.5%) profesores de un distrito de enseñanza media de España. Los resultados, usando ecuaciones estructurales (SEM), muestran que los empleados que más ‘ausencia de valores’ presentan, más aumentan sus conductas desviadas contra los clientes, pero inesperadamente, más disminuyen las dirigidas contra los compañeros. También, los empleados más anómicos en ‘cinismo’ muestran más conductas desviadas contra los compañeros. Otras relaciones no mostraron significación. Implicaciones, limitaciones y futuras investigaciones son también ofrecidas.
