Abstract: |
Research has consistently demonstrated that experienced incivility or witnessed incivility produce a wide array of deleterious outcomes, however, few studies investigate experienced incivility and witnessed incivility in tandem. Drawing on social identity theory, we investigate how experienced incivility impedes employee creativity at work. Using a sample of 306 supervisor-subordinate dyads in China, the results supported the identification perspective, showed that workplace incivility was negatively related to employee creativity, and employee perceived insider status mediated this relationship, witnessed incivility moderated the negative relationship between workplace incivility and perceived insider status and the indirect effect of perceived insider status. |
