ABSTRACT = {Workplace deviance is an important problem in organization 
management. Previous studies focused too much on the influence of various 
factors in the workplace and ignored the interference of family factors. We 
integrate emotional social function theory and emotional labor theory, and 
examine the effect of (in) congruence between work and family status on 
workplace deviance. Using longitudinal data and polynomial regression, we find
that: (1) Emotional exhaustion is higher when work and family status are 
congruent; (2) In the case of work-family congruence, emotional exhaustion is 
higher when work and family status are aligned at a low level than when they are 
at a high level; (3) Differences (and similarities) between work and family status 
can have consequential effects on emotional exhaustion and, ultimately, workplace 
deviance; (4) Organizational tenure positively regulates the above mediation 
model. These findings broaden work-family and deviance research by highlighting 
the role of congruence between work and family status and how it helps reduce 
workplace deviance.},
