| Abstract |
This article presents the results of two studies aimed at evaluating the extent of workplace bullying. In the first study, 61 subjects responded to various questionnaires designed to enable the evaluation of the intensity of bullying (scale of social stress factors, autoevaluation of the situations experienced personally and two scales for evaluating reactions to bullying). It was found that the frequency of bullying provides a measure of its intensity. In the second study, 150 employees of a services enterprise replied to several questionnaires, including the Björkqvist and Oesterman Work Harassment Scale, aimed at determining the extent of bullying, social stress factors, working conditions and job satisfaction. Findings show that men are more often victims of bullying than women. Among victims, negative evaluations were found for working conditions, ratings of supervisors and colleagues, job satisfaction and participation. |
