The research population comprised teaching staff from the College and Departments of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Mosul, totaling 202 members for the academic year 2023-2024. To achieve the research objectives, the researchers developed two measures: one for organizational values and another for deviant work behavior. Statistical analyses including mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient, t-test, and contribution percentage were conducted using SPSS.

Based on these conclusions, it is recommended that teachers in the college and departments of physical education and sports sciences uphold positive behaviors that reflect their level of sophistication and cultural understanding.
