Four separate multiple regressions revealed witnessed colleague and supervisor incivility to significantly explain variance in all four models, relating witnessed colleague and supervisor incivility to instigated incivility, lower levels of well-being, lower levels of job satisfaction and higher levels of stress. The implications of these findings were discussed. (Less)
