摘要

This article advances a theory of incivility as a veiled manifestation of sexism and racism in organizations. To support this argument, I draw from social psychological research on modern discrimination. The result is a multilevel model of selective incivility, with determinants at the level of the person. organization, and society. Selective incivility could be one mechanism by which gender and racial disparities persist in American organizations. despite concerted efforts to eradicate bias. I discuss scientific and practical implications.
