Factor structure of the straightforward incivility scale in an Italian sample
No full textWorkplace incivility is defined as low-intensity deviant behavior with ambiguous intent to harm the target. In this sense, it involves a violation of workplace norms that could damage the quality of working relationships. The aim of this study is to evaluate the factor structure of the adaptation of Straightforward Incivility Scale (SIS; Leiter 2013) in an Italian sample. A sample of 404 healthcare workers completed the SIS. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. In the first step of analysis, exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis with 202 participants revealed three factors: supervisor, coworker, and instigated incivility. In the second step, a confirmatory factor analysis with 202 participants supported the 15-item three-factor model in the cross-validation sample. Results provide confirmation of the cross-cultural stability of the facet, factor, and global scale structure of the SIS

Voters do not improve their evaluations of the political system simply because the government is behaving well
No full textEstablished political parties across the democratised world are struggling to regain their previous levels of popularity, with scandal, voter fatigue, and an inability to tackle the issues that motivate voters proving a toxic combination for both parties and the political systems they operate within. But when parties are seen to be behaving well in government, do voters correspondingly improve their views about the system as a whole? Here, Debra Leiter and Michael Clark show that this is not the case, and that any variation usually relates to the other parties in the system
Volunteer motivations as functions of volunteer engagement
No full textVolunteers from the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) – Nova Scotia District were evaluated on their motivations, for and engagement, in their work with the CCS. Engagement was evaluated using the MBI-‐GS (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996), and motivation was assessed using the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) (Clary et al., 1998). The data were divided across demographic variables: age, gender, educational level, and employment status. Motivation and engagement were found to be highly correlated, although, not in the anticipated patterns. Variations across the demographic variables and the expression of motivation and engagement provide information for those interested in recruiting and retaining members of the volunteer labour force. This information provides useful ideas to help non-‐profit organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society increase their short-‐ term appeal for potential volunteers and their long-‐term appeal for retaining trained volunteers
Generational differences in workplace incivility, areas of worklife, and burnout measures among nursing professionals
No full textThis study assessed generational differences among Canadian Baby Boomer (n = 140) and Generation X (n = 303) nurses. It examined burnout and worklife areas by replicating Leiter, Jackson, and Shaughnessy (2008), extending the research to consider differences in incivility. The participants were a subset of a larger paper questionnaire sample. Analysis identified significant generational differences across measures of incivility and burnout, but differences across measures of worklife were not replicated. Generational differences indicate that Gen X was more dissatisfied with the work life experience, with higher levels of exhaustion, incivility and workload. These findings provide growing evidence of generational differences in the workplace. Understanding generational differences may better enable health care management to develop strategies to counter nurse dissatisfaction and shortages
Attachment style as a moderator between various areas of worklife and burnout
No full textAttachment theory is a developing area of research in the industrial organizational psychology field. The relationships of burnout and areas of worklife have been well established in decades past (Maslach & Leiter, 1997, 2008). The application of
attachment theory offers the perspective of examining individual differences pertaining to interpersonal relationships and coping with stressful circumstances in the workplace (Harms, 2011). A survey of health care workers (N= 1902) was conducted by the Center forOrganizational Research and Development at Acadia University. A moderation technique was used to analyze the predictive power of attachment style as a moderator of the relationships between the three most social areas of worklife and burnout. Despite the lack of significance of analyses regarding the exhaustion and cynicism dimensions of burnout, four of the six hypotheses regarding the professional efficacy dimension of burnout proved to be significant. The confirmation of four significant interactions provides valuable evidence as to how individual factors can
suppress the relationship between areas of worklife and the professional efficacy dimension of burnout. Future research
should examine other populations of workers to see if any of the patterns found in this study are generalizable to other populations. Furthermore, focusing on the stability of the construct of attachment at work over time and across settings would also be useful
The protective role of self-efficacy against workplace incivility and burnout in nursing: A time-lagged study
No full textBackground: Incivility has negative consequences in the workplace and remains a prevalent issue in nursing. Research has consistently linked incivility to nurse burnout and, in turn, to poor mental health and turnover intentions. To retain high quality nurses it is important to understand what factors might protect nurses from the negative effects of workplace mistreatment. Purpose: This study investigated the role of relational occupational coping self-efficacy in protecting nurses from workplace incivility and related burnout and turnover intentions. Methodology: A two-wave national sample of 596 Canadian nurses completed mail surveys both at Time 1 and one year later at Time 2. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model. Results: The model showed a good fit and most of the hypothesized paths were significant. Overall, the results supported the hypothesized protective effect of relational occupational coping self-efficacy against incivility and later burnout, mental health, and turnover intentions. Conclusion: Relational occupational coping self-efficacy is an important protective factor against negative work behavior. Practice Implications: Organizations should provide nurses with opportunities to build their coping strategies for managing job demands and difficult interpersonal interactions. Similarly, providing exposure to effective role models and providing meaningful verbal encouragement are other sources of efficacy information for building nurses’ relational coping self-efficacy
