POOLI, Adriana Machado  y  MONTEIRO, Janine Kieling. Bullying in the judiciary: prevalence and impact on workers' health. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.346-353. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2018.2.13516.

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of bullying and health consequences in the judiciary public service. A transversal, descriptive, quantitative methodology was implemented. Aspects concerning work organization, bullying situations, and possible associations between bullying and health issues were analyzed. The data was obtained through a biosociodemographic survey and from the Negative Acts Questionnaire (NAQ). Results showed that 37% of the subjects were submitted to bullying practices according to the objective measure, and 6,2% to subjective bullying practices. The hierarchical superior was indicated as the aggressor by 75% of the subjects. Negative behaviors related to the context and management of work were predominant with respect to hostile approaches directed specifically at individuals. Depression, anxiety, nervousness, bad mood, anguish, crying episodes, insomnia, digestive problems, and muscular tension were indicated as health repercussions. It was concluded that being the target of hostile acts resulted in damages to health.

Palabras clave : bullying; public administration; health damage.
