Abstract

The stress caused by workplace bullying affects not only mental health but also impacts physical and social life of employees. Thus, bullying is a red wolf for organizations by affecting employee performance. One of the most critical organizations affected by bullying is healthcare facilities. The competence, coordination, and mental, physical and social relations of healthcare workers determine their work performance during duty hours and is a matter of life and death for ailing patients. This research paper tries to identify the prevalence and intensity of workplace bullying among employees. For this study, the collection of data was carried out from 318 hospital working employees. The findings reveal a higher prevalence in the targets found through negative acts behavior than self-identified as a target. Besides, this study explores that the intensity of bullying is the same in all groups, i.e. targets, witnesses and non-exposed employees. The results show that workplace bullying affects the work quality of employees and its a negative impact on work performance.
