workplace incivility, workplace bullying, workplace mobbing, and workplace toxicity. The paper examined
the effect of workplace-terrorism and workers? role disengagement in the selected Private Universities in
South-West, Nigeria. Survey research design method was adopted. The target population comprised 1,751
lower and middle level non-academic staff. Multistage sampling technique was utilized. The sample size of

adapted, validated and used for data collection. The Cronbach?s alpha reliability coefficients for the
constructs ranged from 0.704 to 0.891. The response rate was 87.5%. Data were analysed using descriptive
and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that workplace-terrorism had positive and significant effect on
workers? role disengagement (Adj. R2 = 0.749; F(4, 361) = 272.614, p<0.05). The study concluded that it is
