Attacking the source of the problem, which in this case is dissatisfaction among the workers, would be a better way to deal with workplace deviance. This involves identifying the reasons for the dissatisfaction and taking measures to address them. Enforcing rules and restrictions may only create a negative work environment and result in further deviant behavior. It is important to address the root cause of the problem to prevent it from recurring.
