dc.description.abstract |
Drawing on the workplace incivility literature and theoretical lenses on gender (e.g., Role
Congruity Theory; Eagly & Karau, 2002), I predicted that female (vs. male) leaders
displaying dominant (vs. neutral) behaviours would be perceived as more uncivil. Based
on Uncertainty Management Theory (van den Bos & Lind, 2002), this pattern was
expected to be exacerbated within an unstable (vs. stable) organization. Using an online
experimental design, participants (<i>N</i>=815) were randomly assigned to one of eight
vignettes that manipulated leader behaviour, leader gender and organizational stability.
Results revealed no significant interactions for three measures of incivility. There was a
significant main effect of leader behaviour, however; dominant (vs. neutral) leaders were
perceived as more uncivil. Additional analyses found that dominant (vs. neutral) leaders
were perceived as less warm and also increased feelings of job insecurity and
organizational uncertainty, especially within a stable organization. Limitations,
implications and future research avenues are discussed. |
