El efecto del acoso psicolögico en el trabajo sobre la salud: El papel mediador del conflicto trabajo-familia

Abstract

The effects of psychosocial stressors may have an impact on employees' personal life, impairing their health. The objective of this study is to analyze the mediating role of work-family conflict in the relationship between workplace bullying and health problems. The sample was composed of 441 employees from different organizations in the telecommunications sector located in Madrid. Results show that workplace bullying has negative direct effects on health, and indirect effects through work-family conflict, which implies a partial mediation. This finding has theoretical implications. Specifically, the negative effects of workplace bullying may be transmitted through a conflict that takes place in the non-work domain. © Copyright 2011 by the Colegio Oficial de Psicölogos de Madrid.
