The Effects of Workplace Bullying on Task Performance and Job Stress in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Almost every organization faces a certain degree of workplace bullying. Bullying could be apparent for everyone to see or concealed because workplace bullies can use different methods to torment their victims. This study focuses on the effect of workplace bullying on task performance and job stress. It involves 130 healthcare administrators at King Abdul-Aziz Hospital in Saudi Arabia. The gathered data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results show a significant relationship between workplace bullying and job stress, even though the connection between task performance and bullying is subtle.
