Abstract
Workplace cyberbullying is an emerging phenomenon that has received little attention in the academic literature. This research sought to validate an instrument to measure cyberbullying in work contexts. The ICA-W scale of Vranjes et al. (2018) was translated, and an exploration of its psychometric properties was conducted. Validity was assessed by exploratory factor analysis and through nomological network analysis with the constructs of psychological harassment, life satisfaction, and subjective happiness. The results support the quality of the instrument, finding a reliability of .88 and convergent validity with the psychological harassment scale (rho = .52), as well as divergent validity with the satisfaction with life scale (rho = -.17). Factor analysis revealed a unidimensional solution that explained 65% of the variance. It is concluded that the ICA-W scale is reliable and valid, but assuming certain restrictions in its application in Chilean workers.
