The statistical population in the present study includes all the academic faculty members of the Islamic Azad University، North Tehran Branch، numbering ۵۳۶ people, which is estimated to be ۲۴۰ people by taking into account the sample size of Cochran's formula. In this research, a stratified sampling method proportional to the volume has been used. The research tools used the job satisfaction questionnaire of Davangan and Varghese (۲۰۲۳) the questionnaire of deviant behaviors in the workplace by Robinson and Bennett (۱۹۹۵) and the organizational climate questionnaire of Davangan and Varghese (۲۰۲۳).Suri was based on the views of several statistical communities and the structure was examined by factor analysis method after the necessary terms validity was confirmed on the other hand the reliability of the questionnaires was ۰. ، 90.۹۲ and ۰.۹۲respectively with Cronbach's alpha method was calculated. Data analysis was done at two descriptive and inferential levels including structural equation modeling. The results showed that job satisfaction has a strong negative effect on deviant behaviors in the workplace, so this effect is statistically significant. The organizational atmosphere moderates this relationship.
