Abstract: Abstract Purpose: the purpose of this paper is to examine the association between workplace incivility and counterproductive work behaviour. Methodology: the paper being a largely conceptual in nature adopted a desk research methodology in reviewing extant literature. Findings: Based on the findings in extant literature, it was obvious that workplace incivility and counterproductive work behaviour have a significant nexus. Unique Contribution: The study gave useful insights on the ubiquitous nature of workplace incivility and its attendant impact of work outcomes. Recommendation: Organizations must act in a proactive manner in managing incivility so that it does degenerate to serious and corrosive consequences that eat away the workplace culture by promoting well-being in the workplace and preventing certain unsafe dynamics from establishing themselves.
