Workers? Role disengagement is a concern to private Universities in Nigeria occasioned by
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
418 respondents was obtained through Krejcie and Morgan formula. A structured questionnaire was
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
vital for organization to safeguard its workforce from being dispirited if it must sustain their full engagement
