    STUDY ON WORKPLACE INCIVILITY AND ITS EFFECT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL AND WORK WITHDRAWAL OF EMPLOYEES IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (UHF Nauni, 2024-07-18) BANITA; Yasmin Janjhua
    Workplace incivility, defined as disrespectful and impolite behaviour in workplaces, has become a major issue in modern organisations. The purpose of this study is to examine workplace incivility (hostility, privacy invasion, abandonment, gossiping, unfriendly communication and inconsiderate behaviour), work withdrawal, and psychological withdrawal experienced by the employees in the institutions of higher education in the state of Himachal Pradesh. This study also investigated the effect of workplace incivility on work withdrawal and the psychological withdrawal of employees. Data has been gathered from the 458 respondents via in-person interviews conducted at the several government and private universities in Himachal Pradesh. For the purpose of this study, three strata of universities were considered: central universities, state government universities, and state private universities, as classified by University Grants Commission. Simple random sampling was used to select 30 per cent of universities from each stratum using random number generator method, viz. Central university of Himachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh University, CSKHP Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Sardar Patel University, Jaypee University of Information Technology, Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences, Chitkara University, Sri Sai University, APG University and IEC university. Findings of the study revealed that incivility is experienced by employees in the workplace to lesser extent and all the uncivil behaviours were experienced by employees occasionally and sometimes. However, among all the uncivil behaviours abandonment was most frequently experienced by the employees. Nonteaching employees experienced more of uncivil behaviour than teaching employees. Further it was found that employees of private universities experience more of the uncivil behaviours as compare to the government universities. Work withdrawal and psychological withdrawal are also shown by the employees in the workplace up to a lesser extent and such withdrawals are more shown by the teaching employees of both government and private universities. Workplace incivility has a significant positive impact on the work withdrawal and psychological withdrawal behaviours of employees. The more employees experience workplace incivility the more they perform withdrawal behaviours or vice versa. Furthermore, results revealed that there is no significant association in workplace incivility, work withdrawal and psychological withdrawal with demographic variables such as gender, age, education and work experience in the both teaching and non-teaching roles. It is further noted that uncivil behaviours are experienced by employees to lesser extent this shows that practices of the institutions do not encourage uncivil behaviours therefore, such work culture should be promoted.
