Incivility in the Workplace
Shelley Parker, NB Power
Dr. Marvin Claybourn, St. Thomas University
Workplace incivility has been defined as "low-intensity
deviant behavior with ambiguous intent to harm the target.
Uncivil behaviors are characteristically rude and
discourteous, displaying a lack of regard for others."
Incivility is distinct from violence. Examples of workplace
incivility include insulting comments, denigration of the
target's work, spreading false rumors, social isolation, and
bad manners. Incivility is considered to be an ambiguous
form of harassment. This presentation will focus on the
effects of incivil behaviours on individuals using one of the
most prevalent forms of workplace communication, email.
The presentation shows the statistical information which
supports the fact that operating a motor vehicle or piece of
equipment is a person’s greatest risk for serious injury and
death both in and out of the workplace. Frequency,
Exposure and Severity are reviewed relative to driving. The
presentation connects the relationship between individual
due diligence, vicarious liability and bill C-45. The focus of
the message is to drive as an ART not an ACT. Many case
studies are reviewed to support the need for all drivers to
assess their own driving ability and to make changes to their
driving behavior to lessen the exposure.
