Study 1 examines the paternalism¡ªexperienced incivility relationship in a sample of health care employees, and Study 2 examines a moderated¨Cmediated relationship, with incivility climate as the moderator of the paternalism¡ªexperienced incivility relationship, and counterproductive work behavior as the outcome. Results from these studies suggest that paternalism has a significant positive direct effect on incivility, and an indirect effect on counterproductive work behavior through experienced incivility. Moreover, our results suggest that the relationship between paternalism and experienced incivility is moderated by incivility climate, such that the effect of paternalism on experienced incivility is stronger at higher levels of incivility climate tolerance and lower levels of incivility climate policy %K paternalism %K incivility %K incivility climate %K counterproductive work behavior %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1548051818795817
