Download or read book Perceptions of Workplace Incivility Based on Personality Characteristics written by Sergey Mazuritsky and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study is to replicate a previous study by Sliter, Withrow, and Jex (2015) that sought to determine whether personality characteristics influence how individuals perceive uncivil behaviors in the workplace. The original study is the only one that has attempted to isolate incivility perceptions from the reported experience of incivility. The original study determined that positive affect and trait anger were the strongest predictors of perceived incivility. Results from the current study show the same pattern. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a wealth of research on the antecedents and outcomes of workplace incivility, little is known about the effect of individual differences on perceptions of incivility. The current study sought to examine whether personality and additional individual difference characteristics were predictive of perceptions of incivility. A sample of 295 working adults were exposed to vignettes depicting workplace interactions that could be interpreted as uncivil, and were asked to rate the degree to which each of these were perceived as rude, as well as to describe how they would hypothetically respond to a subset of these items. Results indicated that conscientiousness, narcissism, and hostile attribution bias were positively related to perceptions of incivility. Qualitative analysis demonstrated that the majority of participants would not escalate the described situations. Analyses additionally demonstrated that customer- and coworker-perpetrated incivility were perceived as more uncivil than supervisor incivility. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings for future incivility research are discussed.

Download or read book Understanding Everyday Incivility written by Shelley D. Lane and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Everyday Incivility delves into the day-to-day annoying behaviors that color our interactions with other people, such as the use of crude language in public, family members who claim that they’re “just teasing” and we’re “too sensitive,” coworkers who constantly interrupt us, and inflammatory remarks posted on social media sites. Shelley D. Lane explores what is considered uncivil behavior, why we label some acts as crude or selfish while others are deemed polite and proper, and how these labels often change from one context to the next. She highlights the power dynamics at play in our interactions and explains how “rude” behavior can sometimes be beneficial—and “polite” behavior can be detrimental. Rather than a simplistic manual of manners, Lane provides the tools to understand everyday incivility and strategies for responding effectively and appropriately.
Download or read book Workplace Abuse Incivility and Bullying written by Maryam Omari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges an existing gap in the literature relating to the study of workplace abuse, incivility and bullying. It provides broad perspectives to capture some of the diversity associated with the study of (negative) human behaviours using different methodological approaches, and in different cultural contexts. Studies in the area have grown in leaps and bounds over the last few decades. As we come to know more about the nature of these adverse behaviours, the reasons they happen, and the impact they have on individuals and beyond, new gaps in knowledge emerge. On one hand the paucity of research is assisting in better understanding and management of these negative behaviours, on another, generalised information without an appreciation of the context in which the behaviours unfold may be detrimental to the cause, especially given a globalised and multicultural world. Workplace Abuse, Incivility and Bullying presents findings from under-researched methodological, and unique cultural perspectives. Such an approach will allow us to gain deep insights into the diversity and complexities associated with perceiving, being subjected to, and experiencing negative behaviours at work. The book has applicability across a broad range of audience from academics through to practitioners, and even victims and suspected perpetrators.
Download or read book Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression written by Nathan A. Bowling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars, addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression. Of note, the book encompasses the various labels used by researchers to refer to workplace aggression, such as 'abusive supervision', 'bullying', 'incivility' and 'interpersonal conflict'. This approach differs from those of previous books on the topic in that it does not focus on a particular type of workplace aggression, but covers an intentionally broad conceptualization of workplace aggression - specifically, it considers aggression from both the aggressors' and the targets' perspectives and includes behaviors enacted by several types of perpetrators, including supervisors, coworkers and customers.

Book excerpt: "The most useful, well-written, and emotionally compelling business book I have read in years. I couldn't put it down." -- Robert I. Sutton, Stanford Professor and author of The No Asshole Rule "A must-read for every leader in their field." -- Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human Incivility is silently chipping away at people, organizations, and our economy. Slights, insensitivities, and rude behaviors can cut deeply. Moreover, incivility hijacks focus. Even if people want to perform well, they can't. Customers too are less likely to buy from a company with an employee who is perceived as rude. Ultimately, incivility cuts the bottom line. In Mastering Civility, Christine Porath shows how people can enhance their influence and effectiveness with civility. Combining scientific research with fascinating evidence from popular culture and fields such as neuroscience, medicine, and psychology, this book provides managers and employers with a much-needed wake-up call, while also reminding them of what they can do right now to improve the quality of their workplaces.

Download or read book Predicting Workplace Incivility written by Sarah Margaret Heidel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that women are more likely than men to be the targets of repeated uncivil behaviors in the workplace. Members of ethnic and racial minority groups are also at increased risk of experiencing incivility. Repeated experiences of this low-grade aversive treatment can lead to negative physical and psychological outcomes, affecting both the personal and professional lives of the target as well as bystanders and the organization itself. Notably, these outcomes have been linked to job withdrawal, leading researchers to investigate selective incivility as a potential contributing effect of the glass ceiling for women and minorities in the United States. While much research has focused on the perspective and outcomes of the targets of incivility, few investigations have focused on the perspective of the instigators of these uncivil behaviors, nor the interactional relationships that can occur between these two groups. The current study investigated the relationships between specific personality characteristics and perpetration of incivility against women and minorities. Personality characteristics including narcissism, aggression, and sexism were recorded for both males and females. Findings in the current study mirrored existing literature in that employees who have been treated unfairly are more likely to reciprocate unfair treatment. Rates of incivility did not differ based on race, ethnicity, or gender. Finally, those who have only instigated uncivil behavior and do not report experiences as a target were more likely to report aggressive beliefs and attitudes. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Book excerpt: Workplace mistreatment is a burgeoning topic of interest, with the majority of workers having experienced it in some form. This book explores workplace ostracism and its negative effects on employee and organizational outcomes, such as employee attitudes, behaviors, and well-being. This edited volume defines workplace ostracism and examines how to differentiate ostracism from other type of workplace mistreatment, such as workplace incivility and interpersonal conflict. Among the questions it seeks to answer are: 1) what are the individual, relational, and contextual factors that influence employees’ workplace ostracism experiences; and 2) what constitutes ostracism in stigmatized populations, such as international students, immigrant workers, and older workers. Researchers in organizational behavior, I/O psychology, and the sociology of work will find this book to be a valuable resource.
