Workplace bullying has been identified as a global problem because of its growing magnitude and the harmful effects in victims and organizations. Workplace vulnerability is a component of job precarious1ness that reflects insecurity, fear, and labor uncertainty. This paper aims to analyze the associations between the exposure to workplace vulnerability and psychological distress, and to explore the associations between exposure to workplace bullying and psychological distress, by sex. A cross-sectional and probabilistic survey was applied to a randomly-selected valid sample of 1995 salaried workers in three main metropolitan areas of Chile. Chi-square test and logistic regression models controlling for confounders were tested. Female workers were more exposed to workplace vulnerability and presented a higher prevalence of psychological distress. Among women who were vulnerable, one of three reported psychological distress (30.8%), which is higher than men (16.5%). Workers exposed to workplace vulnerability had a greater chance of workplace bullying, workers who perceived high workplace vulnerability had a greater chance of psychological distress, and workers exposed to workplace violence had a greater likelihood of psychological distress in comparison to those who were not exposed. Increasing employment security can reduce the perception of job vulnerability and help prevent the existence of workplace bullying. Additionally, occupational health protection policies should prevent, protect from, and intervene in workplace bullying as a precursor to mental health problems in Chile.

“…The paper makes a distinction about the type of connections required for each outcome. Puga and Soto (2018) also draw a distinction on different types of social capital. The authors draw from empirical evidence from Chile to find that the relevant networks that drive women's labor force participation are those connections that are weaker but far-reaching.…”

“…This is especially true when connections are with high status individuals. However, as pointed by Puga and Soto (2018), such networks are unequal along the income distribution. Thus, policy that focus on increasing social capital should be mindful of both the type and distribution of these networks.…”

“…As technology in the workplace has increased, businesses globally have become concerned that students are not being taught the skills needed to keep up with the workplace changes. There is an increasingly large gap between individuals' skills and the skills required for the labour force (Puga & Soto, 2018). It started from the mismatch of perceptions between recruiters and students (Tribble, 2009;Price, 2014;Li, Gong, Pan, & Luo, 2020).…”

“…All of these skills are essential but often lacking. Meanwhile, technology has brought innovation to the workplace leading to flexibility, adaptability, and a higher skill level of all workers, supervisors, and non-supervisory(Puga & Soto, 2018). The most crucial feature from the entrepreneur's perspective is an attitude that reflects the ability to communicate proportionally and professionally.…”
