Leveraging the Affective Events theory, the study attempts to investigate the relationship between supervisor incivility and internal whistleblowing among hotel employees. It further intends to comprehend the role of the dark triad supervisors in mediating the relationship between supervisor incivility and internal whistleblowing. The conceptual framework was tested using data collected from 216 employees from hotels in India. Partial least square (PLS-SEM) was utilized for data analysis. The findings of the study suggested that supervisor incivility and internal whistleblowing have a positive and significant relationship. Besides, the dark triad traits of Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Narcissism are found to mediate the effect of supervisor incivility on internal whistleblowing. Our study extends the field of research on workplace incivility by providing empirical evidence on the link of supervisor incivility with internal whistleblowing, as well as that dark triad traits are personalities displayed by the perpetrators against whom internal whistleblowing is displayed by incivility victims.

主管不文明行为的影响：内部举报作为酒店员工应对机制的作用


本研究利用情感事件理论，试图探讨主管不文明行为与酒店员工内部举报之间的关系。进一步旨在了解黑社会主管在调解主管不文明行为与内部举报之间关系中的作用。该概念框架使用从印度酒店的 216 名员工收集的数据进行了测试。利用偏最小二乘法（PLS-SEM）进行数据分析。研究结果表明，主管不文明行为与内部举报之间存在积极且显着的关系。此外，马基雅维利主义、精神病态和自恋这三个黑暗人格特征被发现可以调节主管不文明行为对内部举报的影响。我们的研究扩展了工作场所不文明行为的研究领域，提供了关于主管不文明行为与内部举报之间联系的实证证据，以及黑暗三合会特征是肇事者所表现出的性格，而不文明行为受害者则对这些行为人进行了内部举报。
