When workload predicts exposure to bullying behaviours in nurses: The protective role of social support and job recognition

Aims: This study examined the moderating role of two resources (social support and recognition) in the longitudinal relationship between workload and bullying behaviours in nurses. Design: A two-wave (12-month) longitudinal study was conducted. Method: French-Canadian nurses (n = 279) completed an online survey (October 2014 and October 2015) assessing their perceptions of job characteristics within the work environment (workload, social support, job recognition) as well as exposure to negative behaviours at work. Results: Workload positively predicted exposure to bullying behaviours over time, but only when job recognition and social support were low. Workload was unrelated to bullying when social support was high and was negatively related to bullying when job recognition was high. Conclusion: This study aligns with the work environment hypothesis, showing that poorly designed and stressful job environments provide fertile ground for bullying behaviours. Impact: Bullying is a growing concern in the nursing profession that not only undermines nurses’ well-being but also compromises patient safety and care. It is thus important to identify work-related factors that can contribute to the presence of bullying behaviours in nurses in the hopes of reducing their occurrence and repercussions. This study contributes to this endeavour and identifies two key social coping resources that can help manage the stress associated with workload, resulting in less perceived bullying behaviour among nurses. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons Lt

Le bien-être psychologique au travail des professionnels du médical et du paramédical : rôles des échanges leader-membres, du soutien organisationnel perçu, du sentiment d’efficacité et médiations par la satisfaction des besoins psychologiques

Cette recherche a pour but d’étudier les liens entre le soutien organisationnel perçu, la qualité des échanges leader-membre, et le sentiment d’efficacité général avec le bien-être psychologique au travail (BEPT) dans les secteurs médical et paramédical. Nous testons également les effets indirects de la satisfaction des besoins d’autonomie, de compétence et d’affiliation dans la relation entre ces inducteurs et le BEPT. Un questionnaire a été rempli par 175 professionnels des milieux médical et paramédical. Les résultats indiquent que tous les inducteurs sont corrélés positivement avec le BEPT. Les analyses de médiations montrent que la satisfaction des besoins psychologiques a un effet médiateur dans les relations entre les inducteurs et le bien-être psychologique au travail. En conclusion, la qualité des échanges leader-membre (LMX) et le sentiment d’efficacité général favorisent le BEPT et, la satisfaction des trois besoins psychologiques joue systématiquement un rôle médiateur

How do cyber- and traditional workplace bullying, organizational justice and social support, affect psychological distress among civil servants

This study examines the effects of cyber- and traditional workplace bullying,organizational justice, and social support on psychological distress.Using a cross-sectional design, we submitted an on-line questionnaire to 179French civil servants. Based on Hayes and Preacher’s (2014) method, theresults indicated that organizational justice as a whole and, specifically,interpersonal justice, were a partial mediator in the relationship betweentraditional bullying and psychological distress. Supervisor support was apartial mediator in the relationship between traditional bullying and psychologicaldistress, and, a complete mediator within the relationship between cyberbullyingand psychological stress. The inclusion of organizational justice asa mediator provided an interesting route, suggesting that it is essential to prevent the harmful consequences of bullying. Communication, respectful relationships,and above all support from supervisors are essential solutions fordecreasing psychological distress at work.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
