ABSTRACT Sexual harassment and workplace incivility can seriously harm nurses' intentions to leave their jobs and their sense of job satisfaction. Incivility and sexual harassment was studied if it is found to be significant predictors of nurses' desire to leave and job satisfaction in a research study done in the Nigerian states of Lagos and Ogun, which included a sample of 350 participants, 210 from Lagos and 140 from Ogun. These findings will highlight the need for interventions to address and prevent incivility and sexual harassment in the workplace, in order to improve retention and satisfaction among nurses. This study aims to examine the impact of workplace incivility and sexual harassment on nurses' job satisfaction and intention to leave. Workplace incivility and sexual harassment put nurses’ job security, earning potential, and ability to produce at risk, which exposes them to low morale and a toxic organizational culture. The abused employees are advised to speak up, form networks of support, and take action to stop sexual harassment and workplace incivility. The findings suggest that both workplace incivility and sexual harassment are significant predictors of nurses' intention to leave and job satisfaction. Specifically, nurses who experienced higher levels of workplace incivility and sexual harassment reported lower levels of job satisfaction and higher intention to leave their current jobs. The study highlights the importance of addressing workplace incivility and sexual harassment in healthcare settings to improve nurses' job satisfaction and retention.
