Workplace bullying is quite prevalent and has been linked to many health complaints. The relationship between workplace bullying and fatigue was documented in previous studies. However, knowledge on how this relationship develops with the interplaying factors of spirituality and gender was not investigated before especially among schoolteachers. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between workplace bullying and fatigue as moderated by spirituality and gender among schoolteachers in Lebanon. This is a cross-sectional study, where 215 schoolteachers aged 18 till 64 and employed for a minimum of 6 months were recruited through systematic sampling. Six private and six public schools in Beirut participated in the study. Online questionnaires using validated scales were used. Both simple and multiple ordinal logistic regression were performed for the statistical analysis. Results showed that workplace bullying is a predictor of fatigue with an odds ratio of 2.74 and p-value 0.008. Gender was found to be an effect modifier for this relationship, mainly among females (OR 2.66, p-value 0.047) but not among males. Anxiety and depression also predicted higher levels of fatigue (OR 5.75, p-value 0.017). Spirituality did not moderate this relationship.
工作场所欺凌相当普遍，并与许多健康问题有关。先前的研究已经记录了工作场所欺凌与疲劳之间的关系。然而，以前并没有研究过这种关系如何随着精神性和性别等相互作用因素的发展，特别是在学校教师中。本研究旨在探讨黎巴嫩学校教师中工作场所欺凌与疲劳之间的关系，以及精神性和性别对其的调节作用。这是一项横断面研究，通过系统抽样招募了年龄在 18 至 64 岁之间、至少工作 6 个月的 215 名学校教师。贝鲁特的六所私立和六所公立学校参与了这项研究。研究使用了经过验证的量表进行在线问卷调查。进行了简单和多元有序逻辑回归的统计分析。结果表明，工作场所欺凌是疲劳的一个预测因素，其优势比为 2.74，p 值为 0.008。研究发现，性别是这种关系的一个调节因素，主要在女性中（OR 2.66，p 值 0.047），但在男性中则不然。焦虑和抑郁也预测更高水平的疲劳（OR 5.75，p 值 0.017）。精神性并没有调节这种关系。
