This research paper delves into the repercussions of deviant behavior on the morale of library staff within the context of Amravati Division. Deviant behavior, encompassing actions that breach organizational norms and values, is a prevalent issue in various workplace settings, including libraries. Through a comprehensive examination of the specific dynamics within Amravati Division, this study sheds light on the nuanced ways in which deviant behaviors manifest and influence staff morale. Drawing upon qualitative research methodologies, including interviews, surveys, and observational data, the study explores the experiences and perceptions of library staff regarding deviant behaviors encountered in their workplace environment. By analyzing the impact of deviant behaviors on staff morale, the study aims to provide actionable insights for addressing and mitigating these challenges. The findings underscore the detrimental effects of deviant behavior on staff morale, including decreased job satisfaction, increased stress levels, and diminished productivity. Moreover, the study identifies key factors contributing to the prevalence of deviant behaviors within the library setting and proposes strategies for fostering a positive work environment conducive to staff well-being and organizational effectiveness. Ultimately, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between deviant behavior and staff morale within library contexts, offering valuable implications for both theoretical frameworks and practical interventions aimed at promoting a healthy and supportive work environment.
