“…The organizational climate is defined as the shared perceptions and meanings attached to policies, practices and procedures that employees experience, as well as the behaviours they observe getting rewarded and that is supported and expected (Iftikhar et al., 2021; Samsudin et al., 2020). Researchers sometimes interchangeably use this term with “organizational culture” (Stone et al., 2005).…”

AimsTo explore the association between nurse managers' paternalistic leadership and nurses' perceived workplace bullying (WPB), as well as to examine the mediating role of organizational climate in this association.BackgroundThere is a lack of empirical evidence regarding the relationship between nurse managers' paternalistic leadership, organizational climate and nurses' perceived WPB. Clarifying this relationship is crucial to understand how paternalistic leadership influences WPB and for nursing managers to seek organizational‐level solutions to prevent it.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey was performed from 4 January to 10 February 2022, in six tertiary hospitals in mainland China. Demographic information, Paternalistic Leadership Scale, Organizational Climate Scale and Negative Acts Questionnaire‐Revised were used in the survey. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation analyses and a structural equation model were used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 5093 valid questionnaires were collected. Moral leadership and authoritarian leadership have both direct and indirect effects on WPB through the mediating effect of organizational climate. The former is negatively related to WPB and the latter is positively related to WPB. Benevolent leadership was only negatively associated with WPB via the mediating effect of organizational climate.ConclusionThe three components of paternalistic leadership have different effects on WPB through the mediating effect of organizational climate. Nurse managers are recommended to strengthen moral leadership, balance benevolent leadership, reduce authoritarian leadership and strive to create a positive organizational climate in their efforts to mitigate WPB among nurses.ImpactThis study enhanced our comprehension of the relationship between different leadership styles and WPB. Greater emphasis should be placed on moral leadership in the promotion of nursing managers and nursing leadership training programs. Additionally, nursing managers should focus on establishing a positive organizational climate that helps to reduce WPB.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

“…The bullied employees' work-life satisfaction is affected by job-related health issues (Nauman et al, 2019). These issues significantly lead an employee to physical, emotional and psychological health issues (Gupta et al, 2020;Iftikhar et al, 2021;Liang, 2021) and also to mental illness (Holland, 2018;Naseer & Raja, 2021).…”

Drawing on the Conservation of resources theory, this study tried to establish an empirical relationship between workplace bullying and employee voice with the mediation of Employee emotional exhaustion. This study is quantitative in nature and data was collected from 157 employees from the banking sector of Pakistan. The analysis was done using SPSS-24 and Smart-PLS4 software. The purpose of the study is to stimulate the bullied victims to speak up against this negative act to eradicate it. The study’s findings suggest that a significant relationship exists between workplace bullying and employee voice. The negative act of bullying motivates the victims to speak up against it. The relationship between workplace bullying and emotional exhaustion was also significant. Moreover; the intervening effect of emotional exhaustion motivates victims of bullying to speak up and it shows Partial-mediation. It is recommended that organizations must make a “Zero-tolerance” policy against workplace bullying and relevant measures should be taken. The COR theory holds that people work to get, preserve, and safeguard important resources, which might include not only material possessions but also psychological and social resources. Moreover, limitations and future areas of research have also been discussed.

“…Scant empirical research on WCB has predominately focused on the prevalence rates and its negative consequences for victims and organizations, including depression, anxiety, stress, negative job attitudes, interpersonal deviance, decreased task performance, and turnover intentions (e.g., Cassidy et al, 2014 ; Kowalski et al, 2018 ; Loh & Snyman, 2020 ; Park & Choi, 2019 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). Also, some researchers have explored the personal and organizational determinants of WCB victimization, such as demographics, technology usage, work stressors, organizational climate, and organizational culture (e.g., Forssell, 2016 , 2020 ; Iftikhar et al, 2021 ; Kim & Choi, 2021 ; Vranjes et al, 2018 ). However, only little is known about situational factors that may encourage individuals to become perpetrators of WCB (Vranjes et al, 2017 ).…”

The introduction of information and communication technologies in the workplace has extended the scope of bullying behaviors at work to the online context. However, less is known about the role of situational factors in encouraging cyberbullying behavior in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of perceived organizational politics in fueling cyberbullying in the workplace, and to examine the central role of negative emotions in this process. The sample comprised 279 faculty members of three large public sector universities in Islamabad, Pakistan. Results demonstrated that perceived organizational politics was positively associated with discrete negative emotions of anger and fear. Moreover, results indicated that anger was positively associated with cyberbullying perpetration, whereas fear was positively associated with face-to-face bullying victimization. Results also supported the idea that victims of face-to-face bullying may develop a positive attitude toward cyberbullying and retaliate against their more powerful face-to-face bullies online, possibly anonymously. We contribute to the literature by demonstrating that both forms of bullying can co-occur in the workplace as a consequence of perceived organizational politics, and the two roles—bully and victim—may be swapped among victims and perpetrators.
