Researchers Kenneth Tai at SMU and Sandy Lim at NUS found that experiencing disrespect in your family can increase feelings of worry, anxiety and depression which can decrease your job performance. The authors noted that staff can be distracted during work hours when they worry about how to handle their family members' negativity. They may experience an energy drain and difficulty focusing due to being exposed to uncivil family patterns. Work efforts decrease and staff find it hard to concentrate, think, or anticipate what to do next, when exposed to these kinds of environments. And, ultimately, as the study revealed, it can lead to poor performance reviews, as managers also notice when employees demonstrate uncivil behaviour at work.
