As a result of the correlation analysis, a negative and significant low-level relationship was obtained between the variable of incivility personal relationships and organizational performance and work engagement, and a negative and significant low-level relationship was obtained between incivility professional relationships and organizational performance and work engagement. According to the results of the structural equation model; workplace incivility has a significant negative effect on work engagement (β=-0.420, p< 0.01). In addition, workplace incivility has a significant negative effect on organizational performance (β=-0.481, p< 0.05).
