The aim of the study was to examine the mediating role of workplace bullying in how supervisor support and belief in a just world (BJW) are related to emotional exhaustion. A cross-sectional quantitative study using anonymous self-report questionnaires was conducted with 434 workers in France. The model was tested using a path analysis. First, the results revealed that BJW and support from the hierarchy were negatively related to emotional exhaustion. BJW and supervisor support were also negatively related to workplace bullying. Finally, harassment at work was positively related to emotional exhaustion. More generally, the results showed that social support from one's superior and BJW were directly and indirectly related to emotional exhaustion via bullying at work. Our model thus suggests that BJW and supervisor support can be protective resources against bullying and exhaustion. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the present study, as well as some avenues for future research.
这项研究的目的是检验工作场所欺凌在主管支持和对公正世界信念（BJW）与情绪耗竭之间的关系中所起的中介作用。这项横断面定量研究使用匿名自我报告问卷，在法国对 434 名工人进行了调查。该模型通过路径分析进行了检验。首先，结果表明，BJW 和来自等级制度的支持与情绪耗竭呈负相关。BJW 和主管支持也与工作场所欺凌呈负相关。最后，工作中的骚扰与情绪耗竭呈正相关。更一般地说，研究结果表明，来自上级的社会支持和 BJW 通过工作场所欺凌直接和间接地与情绪耗竭有关。因此，我们的模型表明，BJW 和主管支持可以通过欺凌来保护资源免受情绪耗竭的影响。我们讨论了本研究的理论和实践意义，以及未来研究的一些方向。
