Workplace productivity is badly affected by many negative factors such as narcissism, and sadism. In addition, paranoia and antagonism play an important role in increasing workplace incivility. Through emotional intelligence, such negative behaviors could be addressed by managers and their junior colleagues. The current study aims to investigate the parallel mediating role of paranoia, antagonism, and emotional intelligence on the relationship between narcissism, sadism, and workplace incivility. A survey approach was used. Primary data was collected in PLS-SEM. The population of the study was all faculty members in higher education institutions in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) region. A measurement model and structural model were developed. The measurement model demonstrated that convergent and discriminant validities were established. The structural model's findings revealed that narcissism, antagonism, and emotional intelligence were not mediated between narcissism and workplace incivility. Similarly, emotional intelligence did not play any mediating role between sadism and workplace incivility. This implied that emotional intelligence has no role in decreasing or reducing workplace uncivil behavior.
职场生产力受到许多负面因素的严重影响，如自恋和施虐倾向。此外，偏执和敌对情绪在加剧职场不文明行为方面也起着重要作用。通过情商，管理者及其下属同事可以应对此类负面行为。当前的研究旨在调查偏执、敌对情绪和情商在自恋、施虐倾向与职场不文明行为之间关系中的平行中介作用。采用了调查方法。在PLS-SEM中收集了原始数据。研究对象是开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省（巴基斯坦）地区高等教育机构的所有教职员工。构建了测量模型和结构模型。测量模型表明建立了收敛效度和区分效度。结构模型的研究结果显示，自恋、敌对情绪和情商在自恋与职场不文明行为之间没有起到中介作用。同样，情商在施虐倾向与职场不文明行为之间也没有起到任何中介作用。这意味着情商在减少或降低职场不文明行为方面没有作用。
