Abstract This study examines the influence of incivility at the workplace and narcissistic rivalry on employee turnover intentions. The research aims to understand the relationship between these factors and their combined impact on turnover intentions. The study utilizes a quantitative research design and collects data from employees working in IT industry. Participants complete surveys assessing their experiences of workplace incivility, the presence of narcissistic rivalry, and their intentions to leave their current employment. Additional variables such as job satisfaction, emotional well-being, and organizational commitment are also measured. Preliminary findings indicate a significant association between incivility at the workplace, narcissistic rivalry, and employee turnover intentions. Higher levels of workplace incivility and narcissistic rivalry are correlated with increased intentions to leave the organization.
The study highlights the detrimental effects of incivility and narcissistic rivalry on employee retention. The findings suggest that a hostile work environment marked by disrespectful behaviour and competitive dynamics contributes to higher turnover intentions. Organizations should focus on fostering a positive work culture that discourages incivility and promotes collaboration to mitigate turnover intentions. Understanding the relationship between incivility, narcissistic rivalry, and turnover intentions contributes to the body of knowledge on employee retention and organizational behaviour. The study's findings can assist organizations in implementing strategies to address workplace incivility and reduce turnover intentions, ultimately enhancing employee satisfaction and organizational success.
