Sexual Harassment at Work and Its Different Facets
3,307), with calibrated weights based on the total population register. Overall, 15.6% had experienced at least one form of sexual harassment in the past six months. Women - particularly younger women - were overrepresented among those exposed to unwanted sexual attention, while no gender differences emerged for sexualized conduct or sexual coercion. Women in the private sector and men in the municipal sector reported higher exposure. Being in a …
The paradoxical effect of social support on the relationship between exposure to bullying behaviors and perceived power imbalance
Power imbalance is a core characteristic in many definitions of workplace bullying. Yet, research on preventive and conditional factors related to power imbalance remains limited. This study investigates whether social support from the supervisor and colleagues moderates the relationship between exposure to bullying behaviors and the perceived power imbalance with the perpetrator(s), as seen from the target’s perspective. Grounded in conservation…
Conflict management climate and the prevention of workplace bullying
Purpose This study aims to investigate whether a strong conflict management climate (CMC) over time is associated with reduced reports of workplace bullying and whether it buffers the long-term association between workplace bullying at baseline and subsequent exposure to bullying. The authors’ hypothesized that CMC would moderate this association over time, even after adjusting for the activity level of the immediate superior. Design/methodology/…
Is there a blast radius of workplace bullying? Ripple effects on witnesses and non-witnesses
Substantial evidence points to detrimental effects of workplace bullying on the health, well-being and job attitudes among those exposed. What is less known is how bullying affects their non-exposed colleagues. In this study, we introduce the concept “blast radius of bullying” and use social information processing theory to investigate how bullying impacts targets, witnesses, and non-witnesses. We suggest three mechanisms to understand the impact…
Psychometric properties and cut‐off scores for the Swedish version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire
The present study investigates the psychometric properties and cut‐off scores of a Swedish version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire, the most frequently used instrument to measure exposure to workplace bullying. Based on a probability sample of the Swedish workforce ( n = 1853), we investigate the validity of both the full version (NAQ–R) and the short version (SNAQ). We suggest optimal cut‐offs for the NAQ–R and SNAQ, and for the subscales mea…
Psychosocial safety and conflict management as resources for reducing workplace bullying of immigrants working in Sweden
The study investigates the risk of bullying for immigrants working in Sweden and resources as possible ways to reduce the risk. Based on self-categorization theory, the concept of nonprototypicality, and conservation of resources theory, we test hypotheses about risks and resources to alleviate the risks. The study is based on a longitudinal probability sample drawn from the whole Swedish workforce ( N = 921). Country of birth was taken from the …
Perceived ability to defend oneself against negative treatment at work
A lack of ability to defend oneself against bullying behaviour is considered a defining aspect of workplace bullying. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects perceived ability to defend has on exposure to bullying behaviour, and whether there are gender differences as well as differences regarding the type of bullying behaviour one is exposed to. The study is based on a longitudinal probability sample drawn from the whole Swed…
When the Going Gets Tough and the Environment Is Rough
In line with the work environment hypothesis, the present study investigates whether department-level perceptions of hostile work climate moderate the relationship between psychosocial predictors of workplace bullying (i.e., role conflicts and workload) and exposure to bullying behaviours in the workplace. The data were collected among all employees in a Belgian university and constitutes of 1354 employees across 134 departments. As hypothesized,…
The last resort
This study investigated the consequences of changing jobs for employees subjected to workplace bullying. First, we hypothesized that bullied employees would be more likely to change jobs than non‐bullied employees. Moreover, we hypothesized that changing jobs would result in a reduction of exposure to bullying behaviors and an alleviation of mental health problems for those bullied at baseline. The study was based on a longitudinal probability sa…
Attitudes towards being assessed in group work
Being assessed in group work is a balance between cooperation and competition. Self‐efficacy and collective efficacy are important concepts in understanding how group work progresses and what attitudes assessment evokes. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a short educational intervention on the association between efficacy beliefs and attitudes towards being assessed in group work. In a randomized, controlled study of 22 pupil…
With or without the group
The aim of the study was to describe and to understand midwives' and child healthcare nurses' experiences of working with parent education groups through their descriptions of the role and what they find rewarding and challenging in that work. Data were collected through three open-ended questions from a web survey: 'How do you refer to your role when working in parent education?', 'What is the biggest challenge or difficulty for you when working…
Academic dishonesty, ethical norms and learning
This study is aimed to deduce which ethical norms and considerations are implicitly present in the students’ answers when they are asked to define to what degree the presented actions in a questionnaire are acts of cheating. Data are analysed by factor analysis as well as qualitative analysis. The questions asked are: What characterises the items regarded as cheating? What characterises the items not regarded as cheating? The implicit logic in th…
Relationships between students' strategies for influencing their study environment and their strategic approach to studying
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between student influence, students' strategic approaches to studying and academic achievement, and to examine differences between students in a Master's programme in Engineering with conventional teaching and one based on problem‐based learning in a sample of 268 students. A version of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students and a questionnaire measuring students' attem…
