Insider threats continue to cost the government and private organizations lives and money, and remain a challenge for organizations to identify. The problem addressed by this study is insider threats and the need for insight concerning environmental and motivational factors that influence intentional insider threats. This purpose of the study was to explore how insider threat behaviors are similar to behaviors employees exhibit in response to a perceived organizational injustice or a breach or violation of the psychological contract. This study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected simultaneously and then combined to present a complete analysis of this study's research problem. This study used a survey that included three instruments and a 10-question semi-structured interview guide. The survey was housed in Qualtrics, and recruitment came from LinkedIn or personal contacts. Interviews were audio-recorded and translated by NVivo data analysis software. There were 256 survey respondents and 10 interview participants. Quantitative data analysis included frequency analysis and correlation analysis using Spearman correlation. Qualitative data analysis included thematic coding to analyze the transcripts. The results suggested that organizational justice and the psychological contract can influence the likelihood of an employee exhibiting counterproductive workplace behaviors (CWBs) or insider threat behaviors. Potential implications include the need for organizations to understand the need to maintain a fair workplace, and to maintain the integrity of the psychological contract. Future practice should include industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists as part of the insider threat detection team to evaluate organizational theories to help identify potential insider threats. Future research should evaluate insider threats in different career fields across the workforce, how post-pandemic work priorities differ, the impacts when the organization does not meet these priorities, and other organizational theories and concepts like organizational commitment and job satisfaction.
