这项研究的目的是分析职场欺凌在主要担任管理或专家职位的企业专业人员中的普遍程度和形式。在拥有大学商科学位的芬兰专业人士中进行了一项横断面调查研究。在这项研究中，使用并比较了两种不同的测量欺凌行为的策略。当提供欺凌的定义时，8.8%的受访者报告说，他们在过去12个月里至少偶尔被欺负过。然而，在使用略有修改的《消极行为调查表》(Einarsen&Hoel，2001)，其中载有32种预先定义的负面和潜在骚扰行为的清单时，多达24.1%的受访者报告说，他们每周至少受到一种负面行为的影响。受访者经历了主要与工作有关的负面行为，例如，他们的意见和观点被忽视，他们被给予不合理的最后期限，或信息被扣留。尽管两种策略报告的患病率有很大差异，但这两种策略之间仍然存在一致性，因为那些将自己归类为受欺凌的人也报告了更高的暴露于几乎所有负面行为的风险。
The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence and forms of workplace bullying among business professionals holding predominantly managerial or expert positions. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among Finnish professionals with a university degree in business studies. In the study two different strategies for measuring bullying were used and compared. When provided a definition of bullying, 8.8% of the respondents reported that they had at least occasionally been bullied during the past 12 months. However, when using a slightly modified version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire (Einarsen & Hoel, 2001), containing a list of 32 predefined negative and potentially harassing acts, as many as 24.1% of the respondents reported that they had been subjected to at least one of the negative acts on a weekly basis. The respondents had experienced predominantly work-related negative acts, e.g., that their opinions and views were ignored, that they were given unreasonable deadlines, or that information was withheld. Although the prevalence rates reported with the two strategies varied considerably, there was still consistency between the two strategies in the sense that those who had classified themselves as bullied also reported higher exposure rates to almost all of the negative acts included.
