Eva Torkelson, PhD, Associate Professor, Björn Karlson, Professor, Martin Bäckström Professor and Elinor Schad, Doctoral Student
The project is financed by FAS (The Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research) and aims at contribute further knowledge about job incivility as a social process including the instigators, the targets as well as the bystanders. From the perspective of the instigators the aim is to study aspects that can be seen as antecedents of the process. From a target perspective the focus is on the consequences, in terms of mental health problems, low job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The aim of the bystander perspective is to see whether those employees who witness job incivility may be affected in a negative way and whether they themselves will become prone to participate in the process. A further aim is to study the prevalence of the phenomenon in Sweden and to see if job incivility is reported more frequently by specific groups.
