Abstract

Most studies on workplace bullying have adopted a between-person approach, neglecting the potential within-individual fluctuations in the experience of bullying behaviors. However, investigating such fluctuations may prove useful for uncovering processes and mechanisms associated with bullying and its antecedents and consequences as they unfold over time. In the present study, based on recent discoveries on traumatic experiences and posttraumatic stress (PTS), we hypothesized that even short-term exposure to bullying behaviors-such as the exposure that characterizes an individual when the time window considered is a working week-may already have a substantial psychological impact at the within-individual level, as indicated by the experience of PTS symptoms. Additionally, we hypothesized that the development of workplace phobia may act as a mechanism linking the exposure to bullying behaviors during the week and the reported PTS symptomatology, and that person-level vulnerability factors to PTS (e.g., a recent trauma and female gender) accentuate the within-individual relationships. We tested the proposed hypotheses on a sample of 158 workers that were followed for 6 consecutive working weeks for a total of 860 observations. In line with other recent within-individual investigations, we found that exposure to bullying behaviors shows substantial week-level fluctuations. We also found overall support for the hypotheses, including evidence of a within-level lagged impact of bullying behaviors on workplace phobia, suggesting that even nonpersistent exposure to such behaviors is related to potentially nonignorable psychological suffering and PTS symptoms.

以每周日记的形式对遭受欺凌行为、职场恐惧症和创伤后应激症状之间的关系进行个体内部调查。
大多数有关工作场所欺凌行为的研究都采用了人与人之间的研究方法,忽视了个体内部在经历欺凌行为时可能出现的波动。然而,调查这种波动可能有助于揭示与欺凌行为及其前因后果相关的过程和机制。在本研究中,基于最近对创伤经历和创伤后应激反应(PTS)的发现,我们假设,即使是短期接触欺凌行为--例如,当考虑的时间窗口是一个工作周时,个人所接触的欺凌行为--可能已经在个体内部水平上产生了实质性的心理影响,表现为创伤后应激反应症状。此外,我们还假设,工作场所恐惧症的发展可能会成为一种机制,将一周内遭受的欺凌行为与所报告的创伤后应激障碍症状联系起来,而个人层面的创伤后应激障碍易感因素(如近期遭受的创伤和女性性别)会加剧个体内部的关系。我们以 158 名工人为样本,对其进行了连续 6 个工作周的跟踪调查,共观察到 860 次,从而检验了提出的假设。与最近的其他个体内部调查一致,我们发现,受欺凌行为影响的程度会在一周内出现大幅波动。我们还发现了对假设的整体支持,包括欺凌行为对职场恐惧症的内部水平滞后影响的证据,这表明即使不持续暴露于此类行为,也与潜在的不可忽视的心理痛苦和创伤后应激障碍症状有关。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
