An internet survey was distributed to all 222 white-collars at a Swedish production company and 101 individuals responded. The result shows that incivility is associated with witnessed incivility from manager and witnessed incivility from co-workers. Among the investigated factors in the working life of today only cognitive stress has a positive relation with instigated incivility. Of all the variables included in the model only witnessed incivility from a manager and witnessed incivility from co-workers could explain the variance in instigated incivility. The result also indicates that incivility is not more common among males than females and not more common among managers than non-managers. The results in this study can indicate what might cause incivility in the workplace. (Less)
