The role of the psychosocial safety climate in coping with workplace bullying: A grounded theory and sequential tree analysis

Psychosocial safety climate, workplace violence and self‐rated health: A multi‐level study among hospital nurses

“…The mechanism of the decreased health impact of violence in a workplace with high organisation‐level PSC is multiple and operates at different levels (Dollard & Karasek, ; Dollard et al., ; Hall et al., ; Idris & Dollard, ; Kwan et al., ). Psychosocial safety climate is conceptualized as commitment and resources provided by the work organisation to improve psychosocial work environment and to improve workers’ psychological health (Hall et al., , ; Idris et al., ).…”

“…It has been found that a workplace climate favouring violence prevention predicted nurses' chance of being exposed to workplace violence (Yang, Spector, Chang, Gallant-Roman, & Powell, 2012). Furthermore, employees in high PSC workplace were more willing to react and resolve workplace violence problems (Kwan, Tuckey, & Dollard, 2016). Studies in general workers in Australia found that PSC moderated the relationship between workplace violence and mental health problems and job disengagement (Bond et al, 2010;Law et al, 2011).…”

Internal workplace violence from colleagues is more strongly associated with poor health outcomes in nurses than violence from patients and families

“…Studies from Asian countries and Australia have found that management commitment and priority to organizational safety climate, as well as good organizational communication and participation to psychosocial safety issues are practical ways to reduce workplace bullying and psychological problems of employees (Bond, Tuckey, & Dollard, 2010;Dollard & Bakker, 2010;Idris & Dollard, 2014;Kwan et al, 2016;Law, Dollard, Tuckey, & Dormann, 2011). Studies from Asian countries and Australia have found that management commitment and priority to organizational safety climate, as well as good organizational communication and participation to psychosocial safety issues are practical ways to reduce workplace bullying and psychological problems of employees (Bond, Tuckey, & Dollard, 2010;Dollard & Bakker, 2010;Idris & Dollard, 2014;Kwan et al, 2016;Law, Dollard, Tuckey, & Dormann, 2011).…”

“…Additionally, compared with other forms of violence, internal and psychological violence is more strongly associated with organizational factors (Arnetz, Hamblin, Sudan, & Arnetz, 2018;Kwan, Tuckey, & Dollard, 2016;Van De Griend & Messias, 2014;Zhang et al, 2017); therefore, the associations between workplace violence and health can be confounded by organizational psychosocial work conditions. Psychosocial work conditions were reported to be associated with many stress-related disorders (Nieuwenhuijsen, Bruinvels, & Frings-Dresen, 2010); however, these conditions have rarely been considered in previous studies analysing the relationship between workplace violence and health.…”

Critical Appraisal in the Context of Integrations of Qualitative Evidence in Applied Psychology: The Introduction of a New Appraisal Tool for Interview Studies

“…In this sense the tool could be a good fit for appraising any interview-based QR that is used to study, support, and improve clinical practice. It might also fit well the appraisal of interview studies focusing on the delivery of educational programmes (Howley, Preece & Arnold 2001) and the impact of organisational procedures (Carrero, Peiro & Salanova 2000;Mee Kwan, Tuckey & Dollard 2014) in either educational or business psychology. While the type of studies mentioned so far may be those for which this tool is most appropriate, its applicability is not in principle limited to them.…”
