The present study aimed to investigate the effect of organizational cronyism on social capital with the mediating role of organizational exclusion and the moderating role of incivility in the workplace. The research method is quantitative-survey and applied in terms of purpose. Data collection was carried out in two library and field methods using a standard questionnaire. The statistical population of the study includes all employees of Rasht Municipality, and the sample size is 288 people who were sampled using the convenience method. Structural equation modeling with the partial least squares (SEM) approach and Smart PLS software were used to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that organizational cronyism has a negative and significant effect on social capital. Organizational cronyism also has a positive and significant effect on organizational exclusion. In addition, it was determined that organizational exclusion has a negative and significant effect on social capital. The mediating role of organizational exclusion in the relationship between organizational cronyism and social capital was also confirmed. The results also showed that incivility in the workplace has a moderating role in the relationship between organizational cronyism and organizational exclusion and the relationship between organizational cronyism and social capital.
