My question is rather the opposite, since I want to remove the bolded part from a citation:

Xu, J., Benbasat, I., & Cenfetelli, R. T. (labelyearlabelmonthlabelday). “Integrating service quality with sys-tem and information quality: An empirical test in the e-service context,”MIS quarterly, 777–794. ( )(cit. on p.6).

This is the cls code which came with the template, perhaps you could point to where that is coming from:

\ProvidesFile{biblatex.cfg}

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}

% Put titles in quotes for most types

  {title}{\mkbibemph{#1\addcomma}}

\DeclareFieldFormat

  {booktitle}{\mkbibemph{#1\addcomma}}

% Attempted Fixes for ONLINE entries

Googling for the characteristic phrase

% Gotta get rid of the "in" before journal title

in the comments leads to https://github.com/rschuetzler/latex-icis-template/blob/master/biblatex.cfg and indeed the contents of that file are identical to the .cfg in your question.

If I run the testdoc.tex included in the repository in its current state I do not get the backref/pageref output

(cit. on p. 1)

But there is a second characteristic bit in your question, the

labelyearlabelmonthlabelday

suggests that you are using biblatex-apa and failed to provide an appropriate language mapping or definition (cf. Problem with \mkbibdateapalongextra of biblatex-apa and many other linked questions).

Indeed, if I change icisfinal.cls to load style=apa instead of style=authoryear I also get the

(cit. on p. 1)

in the output.

biblatex-apa uses a slightly different way to control the back references, see https://github.com/plk/biblatex-apa/issues/72. If you use biblatex-apa, the style automatically sets backref=true and lets you control the output of the backreferences with the option apabackref.

Unfortunately, due to the redefinition of the @article driver in biblatex.cfg, apabackref=false won't remove all backreferences with this template (the driver uses the standard macro pageref and not its biblatex-apa version apa:pageref). You can, however, still resort to the standard method of using

backref=false,

Add this line to the biblatex loading option and that should remove the unwanted backreferences.

I should add that it is always risky to deviate from a template (i.e. the change from style=authoryear to style=apa). If you don't have an extremely strong reason to use this template I would avoid it. In particular because the redefinition of the @article driver could have other unwanted consequences if you use biblatex-apa.

While I do enjoy a bit of sleuthing from time to time, please consider including all necessary/vital information (like which template you use, where it is available, ...) as well as a short example document that reproduces the undesired behaviour (a so-called MWE: I've just been asked to write a minimal example, what is that?, or MWEB: How to write a MWEB (Minimal working example with Bibliography)?) in your question. That makes it much easier to answer.
