Abstract: | This study was undertaken to investigate whether work variables identified in theory and research as being related to employee
experiences/behaviours add to the understanding and explain employees’ experiences of workplace harassment. The extent to
which social cognitive theory (SCT), specifically moral disengagement, explains the processes by which work characteristics
are related to harassment was also examined. The purpose of the study was to identify the presence of relationships among
work characteristics, satisfaction, moral disengagement and workplace harassment. According to the results, employees with
negative opinions of their work tended to experience negative affect and to believe that it is acceptable to harm others.
The results of this study provide evidence of (1) relationships between harassment and several workplace characteristics and
(2) the applicability of SCT to the explanation of how work characteristics relate to harassment. |
