Abstract

The development of digital technology has revolutionized workplace communication, but it has also introduced to new challenges challenges, such as cyberincivility—rude in online communication interactions that can disrupt the employees' well-being and productivity productivity. This narrative review synthesizes findings from 11 empirical studies (2020–2025) sourced from Scopus and PubMed to clarify the psychological, social and behavioral impacts of cyberincivility on employees across various sectors and cultures.

Additionally, this phenomenon triggers technology-based deviant behaviors such as cyberloafing. This study highlights the importance of organization-based digital ethics strategies, online communication training, and psychosocial support to foster a healthy and adaptive work culture in the digital age. Therefore, digital transformational leadership and organizational resilience programs are essential.
