Abstract
In combating the increasing number of challenges faced by the banking industries that range from disobedience to standard operations, connivance with fraudulent clients, and regular counterproductive behaviours, a measure of deviant behaviour in the banking sector is necessary. We validated a measure of deviant behaviour among Nigerian bankers (n = 492; female = 222 (46%), male = 260 (54%); mean age = 31.72, SD = 6.88 years). Factor analysis yielded two factors: minor (alpha = 0.81) and major deviance (alpha = 0.89). Scores from the Banker’s Deviant Behaviour scale (BDB) showed to have evidence for research purposes.
