“…In several studies reported in the general literature, a variety of predictors have been used to examine the influences of organizations on individuals. For example, Escartín et al (2012) reported how the predictor identification with one's work team was associated with observed bullying among 494 employees nested in workgroups from 19 organizations. The higher the level of identification, the lower was the observed bullying.…”

We surveyed public school educators on the workplace incivility and workplace bullying they experienced and obtained their ratings of the organizational climate of the school. We used multilevel modeling to determine the effects of individual-level and school-level predictors. Ratings of school climate were significantly related to incivility and bullying. We found inverse relationshipsthe better the organizational climate, the lower the incivility and bullying. Several demographic variables of educators and two school-level variables were not significant predictors. Leaders who focus on improving organizational climate may find that their efforts benefit both student achievement and relationships among educators.

“…The “typical” study in this field measures or experimentally manipulates the individual's identification with a group as a predictor of his or her health and well‐being (e.g., Van Dick, Lemoine, et al, 2018). To the best of our knowledge, only one study (Escartín, Ullrich, Zapf, Schlüter, & van Dick, 2013) has used a group‐level operationalization of shared identity as a predictor in addition to the individual's identification. It has to be noted that this study was on workplace bullying, so it was not a direct test of the SIA to Health and Well‐being.…”

“…It has to be noted that this study was on workplace bullying, so it was not a direct test of the SIA to Health and Well‐being. Similar to other studies, Escartín et al (2013) used a self‐report measure of individual identification (sample item: “When someone criticizes my team, it feels like a personal insult”). However, in addition to using individual identification as a predictor, Escartín et al also included the team's average identification as a predictor in their model.…”

In this article, we aim at theoretical specification and integration of mechanisms proposed within the Social Identity Approach to Health and Well‐being. We differentiate group‐level and individual‐level effects of shared social identity by distinguishing three different aspects: individual identification, group identification, and individually perceived group identification. We discuss specific group‐level mechanisms (i.e., mutual social support and collective self‐efficacy) and individual level‐mechanisms (i.e., attribution and appraisal processes regarding stressors and resources) for each of the three aspects. A core conclusion is that the positive effects of shared social identity on health and well‐being crucially depend on its close relationship with social support, and that although social support is an interindividual phenomenon, it is intraindividual mechanisms—attribution and appraisal—that shape the psychological partnership between social identity and social support. Therefore, we put special emphasis on cross‐level interactions between group‐ and individual‐level mechanisms, which have been widely neglected in earlier research.

“…Additionally, the covert nature of some forms of cyberbullying may cause difficulty for bystanders in identifying behaviours (Escartín et al 2013). The subtle, ambiguous, and easily misinterpreted nature to online bullying behaviours could result in bystanders doubting whether a target is actually facing bullying (Samnani 2013).…”

Framed within theories of fairness and stress, the current paper examines bystanders' intervention intention to workplace bullying across two studies based on international employee samples (N = 578). Using a vignettebased design, we examined the role of bullying mode (offline vs. online), bullying type (personal vs. work-related) and target closeness (friend vs. work colleague) on bystanders' behavioural intentions to respond, to sympathise with the victim (defender role), to reinforce the perpetrator (prosecutor role) or to be ambivalent (commuter role). Results illustrated a pattern of the influence of mode and type on bystander intentions. Bystanders were least likely to support the victim and more likely to agree with perpetrator actions for cyberbullying and work-related acts. Tentatively, support emerged for the effect of target closeness on bystander intentions. Although effect sizes were small, when the target was a friend, bystanders tended to be more likely to act and defend the victim and less likely to reinforce the perpetrator. Implications for research and the potential for bystander education are discussed.
