Incivility in workplaces, characterized as "low-intensity deviant behavior with ambiguous intent to harm the target" (Andersson & Pearson, 1999), affects a significant portion of employees across various sectors. Notably, faculty members with traditionally stigmatized attributes — such as women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, and individuals with disabilities — are disproportionately targeted, a phenomenon known as selective incivility (Cortina et al., 2013). This subtle form of discrimination has profound implications for the well-being and professional experiences of faculty members. This project aims to examine the extent of disproportionate incivility, perceptions and responses to incivility, and outcomes.
