description Although workplace incivility is commonly experienced and demonstrates damaging effects on its victims, less is known regarding when and why individuals engage in such behaviors. In this study, we examined the mediating role of organizational constraints in the relationship between passive leadership and instigated incivility and the moderating role of agreeableness on the relationship between organizational constraints and instigated incivility. Results suggest that passive leadership has a significant indirect effect on instigated incivility through organizational constraints while controlling for previously found mediators. Moreover, the relationship between organizational constraints and instigated incivility is weaker for employees with higher agreeableness. Our findings add to the limited understanding of behavioral outcomes of passive leadership, potential antecedents of employee incivility behaviors, and the mediating role of organizational constraints in stressor-strain relationships. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.
