Abstract: This study investigates the impact of workplace impoliteness on the work engagement of faculty in private universities in China. Employing a moderated chain mediation model, it explores the mediating roles of internal identity perception and organizational identity, as well as the moderating effect of self-perceived employ-ability. Hierarchical regression analysis confirms the negative influence of workplace impoliteness on work engagement, internal identity perception, and organizational identity. Empirical testing reveals the mediating effects of internal identity perception and organizational identity, individually and jointly, on the relationship between workplace impoliteness and work engagement. Moreover, the study validates the moderating role of self-perceived employ-ability on specific pathways within the theoretical model. The findings underscore the importance of addressing workplace impoliteness and enhancing work engagement in private university settings.
