Longitudinal relationships between workplace bullying and psychological distress
The aims of this study were to examine associations between exposure to workplace bullying and symptoms of psychological distress, and to investigate how self-labeled victimization from bullying explains the effects of bullying on health. It involved a representative cohort sample of 1775 Norwegian employees. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the longitudinal relationships. Findings are discussed. The mutual relationship between bullying and psychological distress indicates a vicious circle where bullying and distress reinforce their own negative effects. This highlights the importance of early interventions to stop workplace bullying and provide treatment options to employees with psychological distress.

Exposure to psychological aggression at work and job performance: The mediating role of job attitudes and personal health
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between psychological aggression at work and two forms of job performance (task performance and contextual performance) and potential mediators of these relations. A model was developed and tested in which overall job attitudes (job satisfaction and organizational commitment) and overall personal health (physical and psychological health) fully mediate the relations between exposure to psychological aggression at work and both task performance and contextual performance. Data were obtained from a random sample of 2376 United States workers by means of phone interviews by trained interviewers, and the model was tested using structural equation modeling. The results supported the hypothesized model, demonstrating that exposure to psychological aggression at work negatively predicted both task performance and contextual performance, and that these relations were explained by decrements in job attitudes and health associated with exposure to psychological aggression at work.

Workplace violence and harassment: A European picture
This report presents the prevalence of violence and harassment at work based on international and national statistics, as well as the results of scientific studies on antecedents and consequences of work-related violence. A survey of the Agency's Focal Point network suggest that there is still an insufficient level of awareness and recognition of problems with third-party violence and harassment in many EU Member States, and there is a clear need to promote and disseminate good practice and prevention measures which are sensitive to the national context. Some measures proposed by EU, ILO, WHO and national experts are included in the report.

Hospital staff responses to workplace violence in a psychiatric hospital in Taiwan
A survey of 222 nurses, nursing assistants and clerks at a psychiatric hospital in Taiwan was conducted on responses to workplace violence, treatment of violent patients and reporting behavior. Staff reported 78 incidents of physical violence (PV), 113 of verbal abuse (VA), 35 of bullying/ mobbing (BM), 21 of sexual harassment (SH), and 10 of racial harassment (RH) over the course of one year. Among affected staff, only 31% of those experiencing PV and less than 10% of those experiencing other categories of violence completed a formal report. Highest levels of reporting to senior staff were among those affected by SH. Patients who were physically violent were more likely to be injected with medication than patients showing other violent behaviors. More VA-affected staff considered the incident not important enough to report. Other reasons for not reporting the incident were fear of negative consequences, especially for BM, and shame for SH.

Moral harassment at the workplace: Relationship processes and profile of the victims. Step by step, integrated and dynamic approach of a complex phenomenon
Harcèlement psychologique au travail: processus relationnels et profils de victimes. Approche processuelle, intégrative et dynamique d'un phénomène complexe [en francés]
This article reviews the three main challenges in research in the field of moral harassment, namely to better understand the complexity of the processes at play in situations of moral harassment, to better identify the role of outside players such as the group of colleagues or hierarchical superiors and, finally, to better understand the link between conflict and harassment. To explore these aspects, interviews were conducted with 50 individuals who viewed themselves to be victims of moral harassment. The analysis shows different profiles of victims. Findings are discussed.

Perspectives on bullying in the New Zealand health and hospitality sectors
The objective of this exploratory study was to understand the perceptions of key representatives from the New Zealand health sector regarding bullying, and to compare these perceptions with those of the New Zealand hospitality sector. The study involved semi-structured qualitative group interviews and individual face-to-face interviews. For the health sector, bullying was reported to be fairly widespread across subsectors, while for the hospitality sector, bullying was associated with a number of critical areas, notably the kitchen. Perceived risk factors for bullying were mainly related to the social organization of work, including issues of hierarchy, resourcing and leadership. An absence of adequate reporting and poor human resources practices were identified as further organizational-level risk factors.

Specificity of the links between workplace harassment and PTSD: Primary results using court decisions, a pilot study in France
France is one of the first countries to have passed specific legislation concerning "mental harassment" (bullying) in the workplace. The objective of this study was to clarify the criteria that French courts consider as characteristic of mental harassment, and to check whether the specific links between mental harassment at work and post-traumatic stress disorder reported in recent international studies have been taken into account. The study was based on a sample of 22 persons who were legally recognized as having been mentally harassed at work, selected from the French Ministry of Justice Website. Findings are discussed.

One employee in six believes himself or herself to be the victim of hostile behaviour at work
Un salarié sur six estime être l'objet de comportements hostiles dans le cadre de son travail [en francés]
This article comments the findings of the SUMER survey on the exposure to occupational hazards in France, according to which 17% of the employees declare being the subject of systematically hostile behaviour on the part of one or several work colleagues. Such situations can constitute a risk factor for mental health. Non-qualified workers are particularly vulnerable to this type of behaviour. Other risk situations include strong hierarchical constraints, intensive work rhythms and lack of support by colleagues and supervisors. See also ISN 111339.

Psychopathological features of a patient population of targets of workplace bullying
The objective of this study was to evaluate levels of stress and anxiety-depression disorder developed by targets of workplace bullying and to characterize this population in terms of psychopathology and socio-demographic features. Forty-eight patients (36 women and 12 men) meeting Leymann criteria for bullying were included in a prospective study. Evaluations were performed at first consultation and at 12 months using a standard clinical interview and several tests for stress, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale. Stress at work and depression significantly influenced capacity to return to work. At 12-month assessments, subjects working showed a significantly better score on the HAD scale than those still not working. Over half the targets presented a neuroticism-related predominant personality trait. Workplace bullying can have severe mental health repercussions, triggering serious and persistent underlying disorders.

Importance of psychosocial work factors on general health outcomes in the national French SUMER survey
The objective of this study was to examine the associations between psychosocial work factors and state of health indicators within the national French working population. The study was based on a questionnaire survey of a sample of 24,486 working women and men. Psychosocial risk factors at work included psychological demands, decision latitude, social support, workplace bullying and violence from the public. The health indicators studied were self-reported health, long sickness absence (>8 days of absence) and work injury. Low decision latitude, low social support and high psychological demands were found to be risk factors for poor self-reported health and long sickness absence. High demands were also found to be associated with work injury. Workplace bullying and/or violence from the public also increased the risk of poor health, long sickness absence and work injury.

Workplace moral harassment in Rio de Janeiro health sector: Some characteristics
Assédio moral no trabalho no setor saúde no Rio de Janeiro: algumas características [en portugués]
This study examines the magnitude and some of the characteristics of the phenomenon of workplace moral harassement in the health care sector in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data from previous randomized survey carried out in 2001 were analysed. All cases (1569) and their variables related to moral harassment were selected for the analysis. The occupational group of nurses' aides presented the highest proportion of moral harassment victims (22.7%) and the most frequent perpetrators were co-workers, supervisors and managers (48.7%). The victims' most frequent psychological reaction was "becoming super-alert". Although a certain proportion (38.5%) reported to their supervisors they had been morally harassed, action was taken in only 20% of the cases. The need to implement institutional measures to control violence at work is emphasized.

Young workers at risk: Overlaps between initiation rites, pranks, bullying, sexual harassment and occupational violence
Young workers are at heightened OHS risk in workplaces. This enhanced risk is due to biological, neurological, developmental and labour market position risk factors. This article focuses on another hazard that is commonly encountered by adolescent workers: exposure to initiation rites and pranks. It needs to be noted, however, that older workers can also be subject to practical jokes at workplaces. Initiation rites (ragging), pranks and bullying are all forms of workplace violence. Indeed these behavioural categories often overlap. For example, groups of workers may "play tricks" on a new employee that escalate in intensity and severity over time and may culminate in initiation rites that involve actual physical violence.

Human resource management in organizational change and the issue of mobbing: An Italian experience
La gestione delle risorse umane nelle organizzazioni che cambiano e la problematica del mobbing: un'esperienza italiana [en italiano]
Staff redundancies that often result from mergers and organizational changes in the business world are difficult to implement in public sector companies, where such changes often lead to mobbing. The objective of this survey of the power sector, which in recent years has been affected by considerable organizational changes, was to determine the frequency and risk factors of mobbing. Data were collected by means of questionnaires. Findings show a working environment that tends to isolate and alienate a significant number of workers, one out of three, who explicitly claimed that they felt victims of psychological violence and also felt useless and little appreciated in performing a meaningless job. On the whole, women and older workers tend to be the most exposed to psychological abuse. The older were not old enough to benefit from early retirement schemes and who, like women, were unable to return to the labour market with confidence after years of harassment and humiliation.

CIS 08-988 Violence, harassment and discrimination in the workplace
Ch. 4 in the Fourth European Working Conditions Survey. It identified the extent of the violence and harassment across Europe in 2005. Around 5% of workers reported having experienced violence, bullying or harassment at work. In 2002, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions conducted a comparative analysis to map the patterns and trends of harassment and violence at work in the European Union and to clarify the concepts involved. This report analyses how the concepts of violence, harassment and bullying have evolved with regard to the working environment and identifies some of the differences in cultural perspectives regarding these issues. It also surveys the variety of legislative and non-legislative measures that have emerged to combat the problem at national and EU level, as well as positive examples of preventative good practice.

Harcèlement au travail: l'appui de l'analyse des risques [en francés]
Belgian legislation on violence and sexual harassment at the place of work has been amended recently, in particular for taking into account the psychosocial effects of bullying and harassment. It thus places the emphasis on primary prevention, based on hazard evaluation and the screening for undue behaviour in order to avoid the need for legal proceedings. A well-conducted hazard evaluation is therefore essential for effective prevention. Prevent has consequently designed a training programme for assisting Belgian enterprises in carrying out a psychological stress hazard evaluation.

Violence, bullying and harassment in the workplace
Incidence rates of physical violence, bullying and sexual harassment have increased, according to the European Working Conditions Survey and national surveys. This study examines the manner in which these issues have been studied in the national surveys of seven European countries. It is difficult to say how much of the increase is due to raised awareness, but the heightened levels of experience reported must be regarded as real. It also became apparent in the study that physical violence, bullying and sexual harassment are very different and cannot be regarded in the same way. This means that the preventive measures implemented at the workplace must be tailored to fit each problem.

Violences, harcèlement moral ou sexuel au travail: facteurs de risque organisationnels [en francés]
Ongewenst grensoverschrijdend gedrag op het werk: organisatorische risicofactoren [en holandés]
A menudo, los casos de violencia, acoso moral o acoso sexual en el trabajo se atribuyen a la personalidad de los individuos, pasando por alto el papel que desempeñan las características de la organización y del equipo, así como las pareas a efectuar. Este estudio examina el papel de dichos factores de riesgo sobre el desarrollo y la persistencia de comportamientos abusivos en el trabajo. El estudio se ha efectuado mediante una investigación bibliográfica, entrevistas y encuestas mediante cuestionario

Medida de la exposición a acoso moral entre iguales (bullying) en los lugares de trabajo: validez y ventajas del modelo de grupos de clase latente
Measuring exposure to bullying at work: The validity and advantages of the latent class cluster approach [en inglés]
Aunque el acoso moral (bullying) es un fenómeno complejo, el principal método utilizado en encuestas sobre el acoso moral sólo distingue dos grupos: las víctimas y las no-víctimas. Hence, the complex nature of workplace bullying may not be accounted for. Por lo tanto, la naturaleza compleja de la intimidación en el trabajo podría no poder evidenciarse plenamente. Consecuentemente, se propone un modelo de clase latente a fin de modelizar los datos obtenidos mediante cuestionario de actos negativos (Negative Acts Questionnaire), administrado a 6.175 trabajadores belgas.In this study, six latent classes emerged: "not bullied," "limited work criticism," "limited negative encounters," "sometimes bullied," "work related bullied," and "victims." The results show that compared to the traditional operational classification method, the latent class cluster approach shows higher construct and higher predictive validity with respect to self-assessments and indicators of strain and well-being at work. En este estudio se han evidenciado seis clases latentes, a saber: "no intimidados", "criticas del trabajo limitadas", "interacciones negativas limitadas", "a veces intimidado", "intimidado por causa del trabajo," y "víctima". Los resultados han demostrado que, en comparación con el método de clasificación habitual, el modelo de clase latente presenta una concepción más estructurada y una mejor validez predictiva en lo que respecta a las auto-evaluaciones y los indicadores de tensiones y bienestar laboral

El contrato emocional al servicio de la prevención primaria del acoso psicológico
Le contrat émotionnel au service de la prévention primaire du harcèlement psychologique [en francés]
Como posible solución al problema del acoso psicológico en los lugares de trabajo, este artículo propone establecer un "contrato emocional", que vincularía al trabajador y al empresario, y según el cual el trabajador señalaría las emociones positivas experimentadas durante su trabajo y tendería a trabajar de forma más productiva, en tanto que el empresario se comprometería a trabajar más activamente en este campo, ayudando al trabajador a identificar todas las cosas positivas de su trabajo

Acoso moral entre iguales (bullying) entre el personal funcionarial turco
Bullying in Turkish white-collar workers [en inglés]
El objeto de este estudio transversal era determinar la prevalencia de acoso moral entre iguales (bullying), en los centros de trabajo, entre los trabajadores administrativos y evaluar sus efectos sobre la salud. El trabajo se ha realizado en forma de encuesta mediante cuestionario cumplimentado por funcionarios a tiempo completo de los servicios de salud, educación y seguridad de Turquía. El acoso moral entre iguales se evaluó mediante una lista de 20 ítems. Cumplimentaron el cuestionario 944 personas, lo que corresponde a una tasa de respuestas del 79%. Entre los participantes, un 55% declararon haber sufrido acoso moral entre iguales durante los años precedentes y un 47% declararon haber sido testigos de acoso moral a terceras personas. El acosador solía ser un superior. Un sesenta por ciento de las víctimas intentaron defenderse del acosador pero la mayoría desistieron en el empeño. Se observan diferencias significativas respecto de las puntuaciones de ansiedad, de depresión, de estrés inducido por el trabajo y de apoyo en el lugar de trabajo, entre las personas que declararon haber sufrido bullying y las que no lo hicieron

Devenir socioprofesional de los pacientes en situación de sospecha de acoso entre pares
Devenir socioprofessionnel de patients en situation de harcèlement moral présumé [en francés]
Un gran hospital de la región parisina ha implantado una estructura de consulta "sufrimiento y trabajo" especializada en el acoso entre pares (Bullying). Este estudio trata sobre el devenir socioprofesional de 202 pacientes que han consultado en dicho servicio entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2002. Los datos se han obtenido a partir de las consultas, así como mediante cuestionarios enviados a los pacientes tres meses después de la primera consulta. El estudio ha puesto de manifiesto el mal pronóstico médico y socioprofesional de estos pacientes, con pérdida del empleo y bajas por enfermedad, en ocasiones de muy larga duración. El estudio ha puesto de manifiesto, asimismo, la importancia de los factores organizativos respecto de las alteraciones de la salud mental en el trabajo. Se concluye que las mejores acciones preventivas son las que se efectúan a nivel organizativo.
