Zero order correlation revealed significant positive relationship between workplace incivility and counterproductive work behavior. Moreover, work family conflict was found to be the significant moderator in relationship of job insecurity and counterproductive work behaviors as well as in relationship of workplace incivility and counterproductive work behaviors. t-test analysis revealed that male employees scored significantly high on job insecurity and counterproductive work behaviors however with respect to work family conflict it was non-significant.
