Peer victimisation during school years has been found to significantly shape the way students perceive themselves and how they enter into relationships with peers, thus impacting students' current ...and long-term wellbeing. However, victimisation has seldom been examined in university students. The present study aimed to investigate students' current level of self-reported peer victimisation and perceived peer support and their retrospectively reported victimisation as predictors of their social self-concept and loneliness in their first year of university. First-year university students (N = 200; 26% male) participated in the study. The results indicated that retrospectively reported victimisation experiences during their years of schooling explained additional variance in social self-concept and loneliness beyond their concurrent peer experiences. These findings indicate that experiencing victimisation during school years could have consequences for students' wellbeing that are not limited to the period of primary and secondary schooling, but can persist after their transition to university. Practical implications for the promotion of mental health in the higher education context are discussed. (DIPF/Orig.)
This article examines the workplace bullying literature through different paradigmatic lenses. To date, the workplace bullying literature has been dominated by the functionalist perspective, which ...currently represents the pervading paradigmatic approach in organizational research. The author destabilizes the functionalist approach by examining the workplace bullying literature through three alternative paradigms, namely, interpretivism, critical management theory, and postmodernism. This provides an illustration of the different ways in which workplace bullying can be perceived, understood, and researched. Moreover, because alternative paradigmatic lenses draw upon varying theoretical and methodological approaches, paradigmatic analysis can offer a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The author uses these lenses to ground workplace bullying in paradigmatically driven theoretical frameworks, while using these theoretical frameworks to propose research questions that can direct us toward gaining a more composite body of scholarship.

This article analyses the impact of harassment on job burnout and turnover intentions among a large sample of hospital nurses in Britain. It compares the effects of insider-initiated harassment from ...managers and colleagues with outsider-initiated harassment from patients and their relatives. The article also examines the effect of ethnicity and the impact of effective anti-harassment policies on job burnout and quit intentions. Results suggest firstly, that the insider or outsider characteristics of the perpetrator do help to shape the consequences of harassment for nurses and secondly, that effective anti-harassment policies do reduce turnover intentions, particularly for minority ethnic nurses.
Familiarity plays an important role in the evolution of sociality and cooperation. Familiar individuals may gain a reputation for participating in, or defecting from, cooperative tasks. Previous ...research suggests that long-term familiarity with territorial neighbours benefits breeders. We tested the hypothesis that great tits (Parus major) are more likely to join in neighbours' nest defence if those neighbours are familiar from the previous year. We show that neighbours that shared a territory boundary the previous year are more likely to join their neighbours' nest defence than neighbours that did not share a boundary before. Closer neighbours did not differ from distant neighbours in their latency to join. For familiar neighbours that joined, there was no difference in call rate in relation to whether one or both members of the focal pair were familiar. First-time breeders (by definition unfamiliar) did not join each other's nest defence. This is the first evidence of a relationship between familiarity and joining in nest defence. Such direct benefits of familiarity may have important implications in the evolution of sociality.
Abstract
The psychosocial work environment is of importance for the health of individuals and organizations. The aim was to map the existing knowledge, as presented in relevant and well performed ...systematic reviews, that have investigated associations between psychosocial work environment factors and relevant health related outcomes. Systematic reviews of existing knowledge were sought without time restriction in three electronic databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Cinahl. A total of 42 systematic reviews of moderate or good quality studying psychosocial work factors' associations to individuals' health or the wellbeing of the organization were included. The main psychosocial work environment factors which were investigated were different models of strain due to stress, conflict and mobbing. About half of the included systematic reviews investigated associations between psychosocial work environment factors and mental health and about half of the systematic reviews investigated associations to somatic disorders, mainly cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disorders and pain. Most of the included systematic reviews based their results on workers/employees in general, whereas five systematic reviews focused on workers within health care and veterinary organizations, and a few focused on other work areas such as industrial workers, police and correctional workers, and people working with occupational groups affected by disasters. The vast majority of the included systematic reviews investigated psychosocial work environment factors as being risk factors for the development of illness, disease or consequences of disease, such as sick leave. A substantial amount of well performed systematic reviews add to the evidence that psychosocial work environmental factors can be viewed as risk factors for the development of illness, disease and consequences of diseases such as sick leave.
Key messages
A systematic mapping review of the existing knowledge about associations between psychosocial work environment factors and health related outcomes.
The psychosocial work environment is of importance for the health of individuals as well as for the levels of sickness absence in organizations.
The article reveals the essence of the concept "mobbing" and its classification in the context of pedagogical management. An empirical study has been conducted to identify the presence, frequency, ...causes, features of manifestations and consequences of mobbing processes in the teaching staff of general secondary education in Ukraine. Methods of randomized experiment, correlation analysis, scaling and ranking were used to process the research results. The results of the correlation analysis revealed causal relationships between some causes, manifestations, consequences of mobbing and certain statistical characteristics. The results of the empirical study prove the presence and prevalence of cases of mobbing in the teaching staff of secondary schools in Ukraine. The results of the study allow us to conclude that in general secondary education institutions, depending on the status of the persons involved, all three types of mobbing are implemented. Vertical prevails - 41.5%. Horizontal - 27.7% of respondents, mixed - 11.8%. 19% of respondents did not face mobbing. Depending on the specifics of harassment, there are different variations of mobbing processes, which sometimes overlap in their manifestations. Bosing prevails - 41.5%. 27.7% indicated bullying, social isolation - 15.8%, staffing - 14.7%, sandwich mobbing - 11.8%, gaslighting - 8.4%, outing - 7.7%, ageism - 6.8%, stalking - 5.9%, cyber mobbing - 4.7%. Also, based on the results of the survey, we can conclude that in educational institutions there are manifestations of obstruction - 3.1% of respondents. The general bases of anti-mobbing technology have been developed - a system of measures of the head and pedagogical workers to prevent, detect and combat harassment, moral pressure, psychological terror in an educational institution.
INTRODUCTION|The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of perceived mobbing of academicians on job satisfaction and to reveal the moderating effect of emotional exhaustion in this relation. ...¤METHODS|In this research, which we try to determine the relationship between perceived mobbing, emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction, a theoretical framework was first drawn and In the theoretical part, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction and organizational commitment have been respectively described and explained. Next, studies dealing with the relationship among variables have been analyzed and accordingly research model and hypothesis have been formed. Survey technique was used in the research. Data were collected from 90 academician participated in state university. The data were collected by using the Personal Information Form, Academicians Mobbing Scale (AMS), Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (MJSS) and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale (EES) of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The questionnaire was applied to the collection of data and SPSS program was used in the analysis of the data. Corelation, simple and multiple regression analyzes were used to determine the mediating role of emotional exhaustion in the effect of perceived mobbing on job satisfaction. ¤RESULTS|According to results, it was determined that there is a relationship between, perceived mobbing, emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction and in the effect of perceived mobbing on job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion partly mediated. ¤DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION|As a result, the emotional exhaustion levels of the academicians who perceive mobbing in work place are increasing. Job satisfaction levels decrease with increasing emotional burnout. Additionally,. The mediator role of emotional exhaustion in the relationship between mobbing and job satisfaction indicates the presence of other mediating variables in this relationship. For this reason, in addition to the model in this research, it can be suggested to investigate the mediator effect of other variables in future research.¤

ZusammenfassungBislang wurden Derailment und Führungsversagen in der Fachwelt überwiegend bei männlichen Führungskräften diskutiert. Mit der Zunahme von Frauen in Führungspositionen stellt sich die ...Frage, ob, in welcher Form und in welchem Umfang Derailment auch bei weiblichen Führungskräften vorkommt. Mittlerweile gibt es erste empirische Studien zur Ausprägung der „dunklen Triade“ bei weiblichen Führungskräften. Einige prominente Fälle von Derailment wurden in den letzten Jahren intensiv in den Medien diskutiert. Die Unternehmerin Elizabeth Holmes erwies sich als die größte Hochstaplerin und Betrügerin. In Europa wurden mehrere Direktorinnen von renommierten Forschungseinrichtungen oder Universitäten wegen Mobbing und Derailment suspendiert.
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine how a speculative animal behaviour modification experiment conducted over 100 years ago evolved into a scientific law of human behaviour that is now ...widely cited in managerial psychology texts and journals. The paper considers the implications of this evolution for the theory and practice of work stress management in particular, and managerial psychology in general.
Design/methodology/approach
– Using insights from social constructivist studies of science the empirical evidence supporting the Yerkes-Dodson Law (YDL) is examined and found wanting. The role played by the simple graphical representation of the YDL in its popularisation is considered.
Findings
– Analysis reveals that the YDL has no basis in empirical fact but continues to inform managerial practices which seek to increase or maintain, rather than minimise, levels of stress in the workplace as a means to enhance employee performance.
Practical implications
– Practitioners should not seek to increase performance through the manipulation of employee stress levels.
Originality/value
– The paper brings attention to the potentially harmful ways the publication of long-discredited models of stress and performance can influence management practice.
