Workplace cybermobbing and mental health: findings from a longitudinal study

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the study which aimed to examine the impact of exposure to cybermobbing on employees' mental health. It was assumed that experiencing cybermobbing at work would lead to a deterioration of the respondents' mental condition. The study was conducted in a longitudinal paradigm with two measurements and with the participation of 500 white-collar workers employed in Poland. The results obtained did not confirm the initial hypothesis. It turned out that – contrary to the assumption – poorer psychological well-being of employees increases the risk of experiencing cybermobbing in the workplace. Since, as research has shown, individual differences (i.e. mental health status) can affect the functioning of individuals in organizations and thus make individuals more predisposed to experiencing cybermobbing, it is important that interventions undertaken to deal with it negative phenomenon, they took into account the diverse needs of employees.
