| description | The purpose of the study is to examine and investigate the influence of workplace deviance on job satisfaction in the higher education universities sector of Oman. Furthermore, the study identifies the role of employee motivation as a mediator in the relationship between workplace deviance and job satisfaction. In this study, data was collected via random sampling method, and the number of respondents (population of the sample) was distributed among employees of Oman universities. The model of the present study consisted of a total of 355 analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (Smart-PLS) to examine causal relationships among the study?s latent variables. The findings of this study indicated that workplace deviance was a negatively significant predictor of job satisfaction and employee motivation, but employee motivation had a positively significant impact on job satisfaction. Addi-tionally, employee motivation was a partial mediating effect between workplace deviance and job satisfaction. The major contribution of this research is statistically validating the workplace deviance influencing negatively on job satisfaction in the higher education universities sector of Oman. The study is also expected to be signif-icant to academics, employees, students, and researchers attempting to shed light on workplace deviance and its impact on job satisfaction through employee motiva-tion as a mediating effect, especially those working in the higher education sector in the Sultanate of Oman and similar contexts. Moreover, the findings contribute to the ongoing discourse about how vital employee motivation is by examining the distinctive mediating effect of employee motivation on workplace deviance and job satisfaction. Finally, this research contributes by examining the workplace deviance role in bringing about job satisfaction in education, focusing on its role in profes-sional occupation and in developing education, society, and economy that is stable in the Sultanate of Oman. ?
