Workplace bullying is one of the most relevant social stressors at work. Although previous research has shown its negative consequences for health and well-being, scarce evidence about the short-term consequences of workplace bullying and its crossover effects on the home domain is available. Thus, we conducted a multisource weekly diary study. A sample of 124 employees and their spouses filled a general survey (baseline measures) and a weekly online survey for four consecutive weeks (number of occasions = 992). Multilevel analyses showed that workplace bullying is associated with emotional exhaustion (γ = 0.643, = 0.215, = 2.99, < .05) and behaviors of social undermining toward the partner (γ = 0.751, = 0.187, = 4.01, < .01). Furthermore, rumination mediated the relationship between workplace bullying and its potential detrimental consequences for both employees' well-being (i.e., emotional exhaustion) and interpersonal connections (i.e., partner social undermining). These results shed some light on the mechanisms that can explain both the short-term effects of workplace bullying on employees' well-being and how such effects go beyond the work setting and can impact the home domain. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
职场霸凌是工作中最相关的社会压力源之一。尽管先前的研究已经表明其对健康和幸福有负面影响，但关于职场霸凌的短期后果及其对家庭领域的交叉影响的证据却很少。因此，我们进行了一项多源每周日记研究。124名员工及其配偶的样本填写了一份一般调查问卷（基线测量），并连续四周每周进行一次在线调查（调查次数 = 992）。多层次分析表明，职场霸凌与情绪衰竭（γ = 0.643， = 0.215， = 2.99， <.05）以及对伴侣的社会破坏行为（γ = 0.751， = 0.187， = 4.01， <.01）相关。此外，沉思在职场霸凌与其对员工幸福（即情绪衰竭）和人际关系（即伴侣社会破坏）的潜在有害后果之间起中介作用。这些结果揭示了一些机制，这些机制可以解释职场霸凌对员工幸福的短期影响，以及这种影响如何超出工作环境并可能影响家庭领域。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
