Gender Sensitization at workplace: Impact on Deviant Workplace Behaviors in Information Technology sector in India Joy Manu Melwin* * Manu Melwin Joy, Assistant Professor, Ilahia School of Management Studies, Ilahia College of Engineering and Technology, Kerala Online published on 27 February, 2017. Abstract With the exponential growth of IT Sector in India, a unique platform was created for employment of women suitably fitting their work circumstances and ensuring an gender inclusive environment. Organizations are now prudent enough to take steps to reduce deviant workplace behaviors of employees, especially women, to maximize retention and organizational effectiveness. Even though studies show reasonable gender sensitization pursuits by industry, ground reality indicates that an adequate level of gender sensitivity is yet to be accomplished. Key players claim to have achieved a gender sensitive atmosphere through reduction of work place deviance behaviors. The researcher explored whether gender has any influence on counter productive work behaviors by employees. Responses were gathered from 312 employees working in five large IT firms using questionnaires. One way ANOVA test was employed with the help of SPSS software for data analysis. It was found that female employees perceived lower levels of deviant workplace behaviors compared to that of male employees working in Information Technology industry.
