Abstract
In today’s era when Chinese enterprises have begun to pursue internal work efficiency, uncivilized behaviors in the workplace have an impact on employees’ work-family conflicts, resulting in low employee work efficiency. Based on the theory of resource conservation, this paper discusses the specific impact and potential mechanism of workplace uncivilized behavior on employee work-family conflict. Based on the data analysis of 222 valid questionnaires, the research results show that workplace uncivilized behavior positively affects employees’ work-family conflict. Among them, role overload mediates the relationship between workplace uncivilized behavior and employees’ work-family conflict, and perceived organizational support plays a moderating role in workplace uncivilized behavior and role overload. This paper sheds light on the relationship between workplace incivility and employee work-family conflict and demonstrates the importance of this research to modern corporate management. At the end of the article, specific and feasible practical inspirations are provided, aiming to promote the deepening and development of related research fields.
