The purpose of this study is to investigate how uncivil behavior in the workplace affects an employee's level of commitment to their organization, in comparison to their level of self- efficacy. Additionally, the research explores effective marketing strategies to address and mitigate workplace incivility. Several important factors can influence the transition from being a self-sufficient employee to becoming a committed one, and uncivil behavior can play a role in mediating this transition. The study took a quantitative approach and collected primary responses from 300 academicians in India who had been working for a minimum 2 years. Although self-efficacy is important for achieving high productivity in the workplace, the direct relationship between self-efficacy and organizational commitment was found to be insignificant, but the inclusion of the mediator i.e., uncivil workplace behaviour generates a significant impact of the predictor in the dependent variable. This shows that there is a full mediation generated by the variable of uncivil workplace behaviour on the relationship between self-efficacy and organizational commitment. Overall, the indirect effect of uncivil behavior on the relationship between self-efficacy and organizational commitment is significant, accounting for 90.94% of the mediation.
