| description | Workplace bullying is one of the most common work related psychological problems and has been a topic of interest
since the 1990s. However, only a few researchers have investigated the influence of personality towards workplace
bullying and depression. This study examines the role of personality factors as predictors of workplace bullying
and their effects on depression. Structural equation modeling analysis was used to analyze the workplace bullying
model. The research involved 340 registered nurses from the public sector. The respondents completed questionnaires
on personality factors, workplace bullying, and depression. Results showed that only conscientiousness influenced
workplace bullying and neuroticism affected depression directly. Workplace bullying has been found to directly
influence depression among nurses. The findings have implications on how workplace bullying plays a key role in
the relationship between personality and depression and may serve as a guideline on how to prevent nurses from
psychological problems caused by workplace bullying. |
