本文的目的是调查在工作场所的“负面行为”和“欺凌”对员工的健康和福祉的影响,在何种程度上的影响仍然超出了经验的时期,以及在何种程度上他们影响第三方或证人。该论文还提出了一个问题,即与欺凌有关的某些行为是否可能比其他行为更具破坏性。潜在的性别差异和职业背景之间的差异被认为是。为了实现这些目标,进行了一项全国性的横断面研究(N = 5,388)。从绝对意义上说,那些将自己的经历称为欺凌的人的健康状况要比那些没有被欺凌的人差得多。然而,与预期相反的是,发现负面行为和不良健康影响之间的关联比自我报告(自我标记)欺凌和健康之间的关联更强。以前的目标以及目击者也报告说,他们的健康状况比那些既没有被欺凌也没有目睹欺凌的人更差。研究结果还表明,一些消极行为比其他行为更难处理。在所有情况下,性别之间和职业背景之间都出现了差异。
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of 'negative behaviours' and 'bullying' in the workplace on the health and well-being of employees, to what extent the effects remain beyond the period of the experience as well as the extent to which they affect third-parties or witnesses. The paper also raises the question whether some behaviours associated with bullying may be more damaging than others. Potential sex differences and differences between occupational contexts are considered. To achieve these aims, a national cross-sectional study ( N = 5,388) was carried out. In absolute terms those who labelled their experience as bullying had substantially worse health than those who were not bullied. However, counter to what was expected, stronger associations were found between negative behaviour and adverse health effects than for self-reported (self-labelled) bullying and health. Previous targets as well as witnesses also reported worse health than those who were neither bullied nor had witnessed bullying. The findings also imply that some negative behaviours were more difficult to deal with than others. In all cases differences between the sexes and between occupational contexts emerged.
