Lack of perceived competence is linked to perceived workplace bullying among Jordanian registered nurses

摘要

Bullying in nursing has received much attention over the years, from the idea that nurses 'eat their young'' to recent UK media reports that National Health Service directors will have a legal duty to act on bullying. Bullying in nursing appears to be a universal phenomenon, identified in studies across the globe at rates between 5% and 87%. Workplace bullying may be linked with a whole range of negative experiences including reduced perceived job performance and lower job satisfaction.
