Bullying meta-analyses

摘要

Exposure to workplace bullying has significant detrimental effects on job-related and health-related outcomes, but there is only a weak association with sickness absence. The first of two meta-analyses (54 cross-sectional studies; 77,721 individuals) found that persistent workplace bullying was strongly linked to post-traumatic stress symptoms, depression, anxiety, somatisation and burnout, but had no effect on sleep. It was also linked to low job satisfaction, intention to leave the job, and low organisational commitment.
