The results showed that 16.6% of respondents were classified as victims of
bullying, applying bullying criteria based on behavioral approach, that is individuals experienced at least one negative act “at least once a week” during the past six months. This number was in line with previous research among university employees (Zabrodska & Kveton, 2012). Confirming the previous studies, it was discovered that the most prevalent forms of bullying were related to work. Victims of bullying experienced more
psychological distress, than non-victims. Findings showed that 5.5% of the variance in psychological distress was explained by bullying. There was a small, negative correlation between bullying and social support, with high levels of perceived bullying associated with low levels of social support. Finally, the paper showed that bullying was significantly correlated with employees’ turnover intention. As for work engagement, absenteeism, and
transfers within the same organization there was observed no significant relationship between the variables.
