Abstract
The present study examines the potential protective role of resilience in relation to workplace bullying. Specifically, the study investigates the association between workplace bullying and subjective well-being and whether high levels of resilience buffer the relationship. The study draws on data from a cross-sectional survey of 631 individuals employed in diverse organizations in Accra, Ghana. Results of moderated regression analysis showed that workplace bullying was associated with lower levels of subjective well-being. Although resilience moderated the relationship between workplace bullying and subjective well-being, it strengthened rather than weakened the relationship. The study’s findings suggest that relying on individuals’ personal resources in dealing with workplace bullying may be counterproductive. The findings underscore the need for organizations to institute measures to offer better protection of employees from exposure to bullying at the workplace.
