Purpose: Nowadays, creative deviance is the only factor that can lead to new creativity and innovations in organizations. The ultimate purpose of this research is to present a model of creative deviance as an individual maladaptive behavior using a qualitative approach. Design/Methodology/Approach: In order to identify the categories, deep interviews with experts were conducted using open questionnaires and theoretical sampling method. The qualitative data analysis of this study was based on the Strauss and Corbin guidelines, which included three main stages of data coding. Research Findings: According to the results, management and organizational component (causal conditions), structural strain (phenomenon), creative deviance (action/reaction strategy) characteristics of actors (context), managerial and biographical conditions (intervening conditions) and positive and negative consequences on the individual and organizational levels (consequences) were extracted and so creative deviance model has been developed. Limitations & Consequences: Among the various alternatives of the employees responded to the manager orders, one of them was the disobedience that was investigate in this research; While other alternatives, such as bootlegging, which are very similar to creative deviance should be considered in future research. Practical Consequences: The output of this research can be a step towards how the employee’ s creative ideas evolve. Innovation or Value of the Article: The present study, considering the commonalities between the two phenomena include deviance and creativity, has broken down the previous assumptions about the positive and negative of this phenomenon and introduces creative deviance as a neutral phenomenon.

Purpose: The importance of performance management is obvious; however, there is not a comprehensive model that describes the concept of performance and variables and the relation between these variables in individual, team and organizational level. This study aims at developing a comprehensive model of organizational performance using multilevel approach. Design/Methodology/Approach: This is a developmental study based on research objective and was conducted using exploratory strategy and qualitative method. After studying more than one thousand scientific documents including articles and books, the comprehensive model of performance were developed. Research Findings: Based on multilevel approach, the single-level model of individual, team and organizational performance were developed. Then, the cross-level models were developed. Finally, the comprehensive model of organizational performance using multilevel approach was developed. Practical Consequences: Identifying performance variables and explaining the relationships between them in a comprehensive way helps organizations to consider the impact of these variables on different levels of individual, group and organizational performance management system, and increase its effectiveness. Limitaions & Consequences: Performance is a multilevel phenomena and conventional theorizing approach, which studies performance in micro or macro level, can not analyzes this phenomena since it can not consider top-down and bottom-up effect of interested phenomena. As a result, errors accurse due to simplification of organizational phenomena. Multilevel approach enables the researchers and managers to see organizational phenomena as a multilevel subject and to analyze the effect of phenomenon in the higher level and also the influence of higher level factors at the phenomenon. Therefor, it can decrees or alleviate the gap between theory and practice. Innovation or Value of the Article: The paper, while pointing out how to use multilevel theory, helps to develop existing performance models of management knowledge at three levels: individual, group, and organizational, and with the approach of the single-level, cross-level, and multilevel approaches.
