The increasing use of information and communication technologies has allowed for a new type incivility known as cyber incivility. This study compared the correlations of face-to-face and cyber incivility with job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intentions. Data were collected from 231 participants who completed an online survey asking about the aforementioned work outcomes and face-to-face and cyber incivility. Results indicated that face-to-face and cyber incivility were both significantly correlated with each of the work outcomes, consistent with previous research. Contrary to the hypotheses, Fisher's r-to-z transformations showed that face-to-face incivility was more strongly correlated with job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover intentions than cyber incivility. Taken together, these results suggest that organizations should focus on interventions to reduce both face-to-face and cyber incivility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
