The Impact of Workplace Bullying on Job Satisfaction of Employees with Mediating Effect of Emotional Exhaustion. An Empirical Study of Hospital Sector of PakistaB

Abstract

Bullying in the workplace is a serious issue that affects both the organization and the community as a whole. Workplace bullying and its impact on job satisfaction with the mediating role of emotional exhaustion were explored in this study. Researchers found that bullying has a negative influence on an individual's performance at organization, which in turn has a negative effect on both staff morale and a company's bottom line. Bullying in the workplace is difficult to recognize and contain since the harassment is often carried out behind the backs of bosses and employees, often without their knowledge. Workplace bullying was shown to be a common problem, and the study's findings show that it occurs on a regular basis, as well as the precise sorts of mistreatment or bad behavior that are experienced by the target, as well as the effects that bullying has on physical and emotional stress. As a part of this research, participants were asked to identify the most common negative behavior perpetrated by workplace bullies. Results show that employees believe their workplaces are filled with insulting supervisors, coworkers, and other bad acts that should be taken seriously. In addition to looking at the negative effects of a toxic work environment, this study is one of the first to investigate the positive effects of bullying. Participants were asked if they could identify bullying traits in themselves, given the criteria for bullying (intentionally malicious, persistent, and consistent).
