Incivility and work motivation

The sample consists of 481 employees working in the health sector in Sweden. The majority of the participants were nurses, midwives, speech therapists, or nursing auxiliaries, but the sample also included unit managers, priests, social workers and psychologists. The data were collected through strategic sampling from hospitals and health centers as part of an undergraduate psychology course. Participants were made aware that their participation was voluntary and that all responses would be anonymous; they all provided informed consent prior to participating.
