Consequences of Workplace Incivility Predominant in Higher Educational Institutes of Pakistan

Abstract

This study examined the behavioural results that university professors in Pakistan encountered as a result of the psychological impacts of rudeness at work. Workplace bullying at higher education institutions has been a topic of research for several decades, allowing researchers to investigate what bullying is extensively and its impact on its. Incivility is a costly and ubiquitous workplace behaviour that has significant negative affective, cognitive, and behavioural implications for those who are targets, witnesses, or instigators This study produced data and analysis that fills several gaps in our understanding of workplace incivility in higher education. Conducting research through phenomenological methods,which allows participants to recall situations where they were treated rudely, is experiential and qualitative.The data was gathered through interviews with ten faculty members. The results showed that the psychological effects of workplace rudeness were felt by the subjects. Participants admitted that if they continued to feel excluded in the future, they would stop participating, perform poorly, and quit. Finally, the article underlines a challenging but essential task for higher education policymakers and managers, as it demonstrates that incivility exists, that the repercussions are severe and long-lasting, and that the victims health and personal lives are being jeopardized. As a result, this paper urges academics studying HRD to pay attention
