(Portland, OR) -- A new study out of Portland State University suggests workplace incivility is on the rise since the start of the pandemic. The study shows an increase in rudeness and discourteous behavior among coworkers at the office. Beyond that, the study shows an increase in these types of behaviors in a virtual office setting, for example on digital conference calls and more. This particular study by PSU focuses on the impact work incivility has on targets of these behaviors.
