Abstract
Uncivil behavior at work can have numerous consequences for individuals and the organization. This paper examines the interplay of personality traits and organizational culture as antecedents of workplace incivility. Empirical research on a sample of 251 employees has shown that the perceptions and occurrence of workplace incivility can be significantly related to personality traits and features of organizational culture. When looking at the combined effect of personality and organizational culture, culture determines one’s perception and experience of incivility stronger than personality traits alone. The research showed that personality trait agreeableness and emphasizing values related to clan, market or adhocracy culture could reduce the odds of workplace incivility.
Highlights
The purpose of this paper is to examine the interplay of organization-related situational antecedents and dispositional antecedents as antecedents for the occurrence of workplace incivility
Contrary to previous findings where market culture is seen as a predictor of various forms of deviant workplace behavior, including incivility [69], this research indicates that emphasizing market culture negatively affects the occurrence of workplace incivility
The aim of this paper was to test for the effects of interplay of organizational culture as organization-related situational antecedents and target’s personality traits as dispositional antecedents for the occurrence of workplace incivility
