Förekomsten av mobbning bland psykologer samt dess relation till stress, hälsa och sjukfrånvaro
(2014) PSPT02 20141Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- I denna uppsats undersöktes förekomsten av mobbning och dess relation till upplevd stress, självskattad hälsa och sjukfrånvaro i en grupp yrkesverksamma psykologer (N = 339). Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av en webbenkät. Förekomsten av mobbning mättes på två sätt. Deltagarna fick först skatta hur ofta de utsatts för negativa handlingar på sin arbetsplats under de senaste sex månaderna, och sedan uppge om de upplevde sig ha varit utsatta för mobbning under de senaste sex eller 12 månaderna. Vidare fick respondenterna skatta grad av upplevd stress, sitt allmänna hälsotillstånd samt rapportera antal sjukfrånvarodagar under de senaste sex månaderna. Resultaten visade att förekomsten av mobbning i urvalsgruppen låg i linje med nivåer... (More)

Vidare fick respondenterna skatta grad av upplevd stress, sitt allmänna hälsotillstånd samt rapportera antal sjukfrånvarodagar under de senaste sex månaderna. Resultaten visade att förekomsten av mobbning i urvalsgruppen låg i linje med nivåer uppmätta inom erkänt mobbningsdrabbade yrken. Vidare påvisades att de som utsatts för mobbning upplevde högre stress än de som inte utsatts för mobbning. De som utsatts för mobbning skattade också sin hälsa som sämre och rapporterade högre sjukfrånvaro, även om skillnaderna mellan grupperna var små. Studiens korrelationsdesign gör att det inte går att dra slutsatser om kausalitet mellan de ingående variablerna. (Less)
- Abstract
- This thesis investigated the prevalence of workplace bullying and its relation to perceived stress, self-rated health and sick absence in a group of psychologists (N = 339). The study was conducted using an online survey. Two methods were employed to measure the prevalence of workplace bullying. The respondents were asked to first rate how often during the last six months they had been exposed to negative acts in the workplace, and second, to state if they had been subjected to bullying during the last six or 12 months. Furthermore, the respondents were asked about their perceived stress, their general health and the number of sick absence days during the last six months. The results showed that the prevalence of workplace bullying in the... (More)

Furthermore, the respondents were asked about their perceived stress, their general health and the number of sick absence days during the last six months. The results showed that the prevalence of workplace bullying in the sample was on a level equivalent to the ones found within professions with known bullying problems. Moreover, the results showed that victims of bullying perceived more stress than did non-bullied. The ones who had been bullied also rated their health as worse and reported more sickness absence than did non-bullied, although the differences between the two groups were small. The correlational design of the study does not, however, make for conclusions about causal relations between the variables. (Less)
