Such companies with the issues they are facing, actively convinced that should be used of employees' new ideas effectively and this will not be possible except with a creative deviance.

In this study, deep interviews were conducted using theoretical sampling method then in the three stages of coding, the components of creative deviance were identified. According to the results, management and organizational component (causal conditions), creative deviance (action/reaction strategy) characteristics of actors and features of the idea (context), managerial, organizational and biographical conditions (intervening conditions) and positive and negative consequences on the individual and organizational levels (consequences) were extracted and creative deviance model was designed.
