Organizational Deviance and misbehavior or the dark side of organizational behavior has been a matter of research during the last two decades. Social undermining is an interpersonal insidious misbehavior and is significantly associated with employee's outcomes if it continues over time. The effects of social undermining on employee's commitment and job involvement were tested among employees of Iran's presidential center for innovation and technology cooperation. The data gathered by distribution of questionnaire among 158 employees using random sampling method. Results show that social undermining by coworkers and supervisors has considerable effects on employee's job involvement and affective and normative commitment, but as predicted, not on continuous commitment. Moreover, based on fairness theory, the hypothesis of the mediating role of conscientiousness in the effects of social undermining on job involvement and organizational commitment was developed and tested. It is advised that organizations should consider preventing actions, training and counseling employees to minimize social undermining behavior and its consequences on employee's outcomes

Many researches point out that organizational commitment has remained a topic of interest ever since it was introduced in the early 1950s to the field of organizational behavior, because they believe that properly managed, organizational commitment can lead to beneficial consequences such as organizational effectiveness, improved performance, reduced turnover and reduced absenteeism (Meyer & Allen, 1997; Baruch, 1998; nowadays, 1998; Buck & Watson, 2002; Dixon, 2002). The present study devotes to investigate the effect of human resources management policies as three subsystems: staffing, appraisal and reward, employee relations to the rate of employee organizational commitment and diagnosing the weakness points of these policies. It is shown that there is significant relationship between HRM1 policies and rate of OC2, using the analysis of information which obtains from questionnaire, two dimensional Chi - square test, Gamma and Somers's d correlation coefficient. Also, using one dimensional Chi - square test, we diagnose the problematic HRM policies of the rate of employee organizational commitment.
