However, daily involvement in interpersonal conflicts did not predict exposure to bullying behaviors the next day. As hypothesized, multilevel analyses showed positive main effects of daily interpersonal conflicts on interpersonal conflicts the next day and exposure to bullying behaviors the same day.
Prior to the voyage, participants also responded to a general questionnaire including measures of trait anger and trait anxiety. They responded to a questionnaire on a daily basis over a period of 30 days – yielding 1428 measurement points. Using a quantitative diary study design, we approached 57 military naval cadets participating in a tall‐ship voyage across the Atlantic, from Europe to North America, in 2017. For perpetrators, both the indirect and direct relationships are moderated by forcing, underlining the importance of distributive conflict behavior particularly for the enactment of bullying behaviors.īuilding on the Three‐way model of workplace bullying and its underlying theories, this study investigates the role of trait anger and trait anxiety in the link between daily interpersonal conflicts and daily exposure to bullying behaviors.
Additionally, our study also revealed a direct effect from task conflicts to bullying in the analyses regarding the indirect as well as the conditional indirect effects. Results in a large representative sample of the Flemish working population (N = 2,029) confirmed our hypotheses. Targets are distinguished from perpetrators in our assumption that this indirect effect is boosted by distributive conflict behavior, being yielding for targets and forcing for perpetrators. This process accounted for both for targets and perpetrators of bullying. We hypothesized a positive indirect association between task conflicts and bullying through relationship conflicts. The current study investigated how work-related disagreements-coined as conflicts-relate to workplace bullying, from the perspective of the target as well as the perpetrator.
